Daumier. WHAT'S ON THAT PAPER?
Daumier.
At first I was leaning David, but the more I looked at the pictures the more they felt a bit stiff. And Daumier is anything but stiff.
Daumier. Something about all those frozen glowy-skinned Dutch people gives me the creeps. Like they are a diorama of dolls. Now, if it were a picture of a diorama of dolls, that might be a different story.
Yea, Daumier.
David.

I am liking Gerard David, especially the Ladies' Last Supper. OK, I see in Wikipedia it's the wedding at Cana, but I still like it. The people are a little stiff, but then they're devout, formal people alarmingly low on wine.
Daumier. The Norwegians agree.
Daumier...I think.
Daumier, for the movement in the first painting and the kid in the second
Oops, didn't vote. G. David for me. I see the point about stiffness, but I also see the colors and know that if I was in front of them in real life, I would fall in love. Plus, a cow.
But, Daumier takes it, 9-3. Voting is closed in this round.
