What?! What an unfortunate pairing, they are both great. Oh well, if I must choose I choose Pieter Bruegel. He did a lot of great stuff in addition to these two--like the "Tower of Babel", beloved painting of jigsaw puzzles.

A father-son matchup? Although, did we just miss a brothers' matchup? I guess I'll have to wait until next week to see. That would've been a good one; the two brothers growing up in the shadow of their famous dad's legacy, duking it out to see who really deserved the Bruegel (er... Brueghel) mantle.

But a father knocking his own flesh and blood out of the tournament? Pretty good as well. And that's where my vote will go- with Pieter Bruegel

Pieter Bruegel, please.

Jan B without a doubt. Though it's too bad the pterodactyls never made it on the ark.

They're both good! I prefer P. Bruegel just slightly.

Very good, Jenners. Very good.

Pieter wallops his son Jan, 9-1, and moves on to the second round.
