...and I'll start the bidding with Holbein, Perugino, and Schnabel.
I'll vote for old favorites Daubigny and Canaletto, and also
Perugino and Beauneveu. I am amused about how lumpy the Salviati babies are
Perugino, Schnabel, Daubigny, and Canaletto.
Perugino, Daubigny, Canaletto, and Salviati.
Wow! I really like them all. Is this the new future of the ladder? I'll give of a 4/7 vote to all.
That's not allowed? Okay then.
Well Holbein and Perugino will get my vote for like forever.
I respect Canaletto but have grown a bit bored of him. There's something a little muted about these gorgeous Venetian scenes.
I really like the over-the-top chaos with muscled babies of Salviati but no so much his portraits.
I don't like Schnabel quite as much as I want to.
So I'll go with the glowing Beauneveu, Daubginy, Holbein, and Perugino.
Holbein, Canaletto, Daubigny, Salviati
Beauneveu, Perugino, Holbein, Daubigny.
Susan goes for Beauneveu, Holbein, Daubigny, and Canaletto.
A strong field! The standouts for me are Holbein and Perugino.
