Wilkie, Gozzoli (what's going on in that bottom one?), Fantin-Latour and Mondrian.
Witz, Gozzoli, Fantin-Latour, Mondrian.
I'm gonna go with the last four: Gozzoli (there's a LOT going on in that bottom one, that's what), Duchamp, Fantin-Latour (who knew?), and Mondrian.
Susan says "Three VOTES today: Sir David Wilkie -- I like him very much. The top one looks like a scene with the miserly old man in a nineteenth-century novel. And Gozzoli & Fantin-Latour." And now that she sees it, I think that I've seen Wilkie's on 19th century novel covers.
Do not get the Wilkie like or the Fantin-Latour love, but I like most of the others, so no one will get the wrath of a negative vote. I'll also vote for Mondrian, Gozzoli, and Witz.
Vote against Duchamp.
Fantin-Latour and Witz. Votes against Duchamp and Mondrian.
Forgot to say that one of votes was for Duchamp.
Mondrian, Duchamp, Gozzoli, Fantin-LaTour. Goodbye, Daubigny!
