Slipping a last vote in during January! Correggio in the top bracket - I sort of like night light baby Jesus. The bottom is tough; I quite like both. I think I will go with Cuyp, though, because I like his cows/bulls better.

Give me the first guy in both battles. I'm just not buying the one with the two geese pulling that big ass boat. Come on!

Del Cossa (fantastic fantasy - I want to read the children's book) & Cuyp (glowing cows)

For me: Correggio, one of my faves. I was considering getting a Correggio tattoo at one point.

And Cuyp, who like Correggio is an excellent painter of cows.

Alas, Corregio falls to del Cossa 4-9. It was a fair fight. Cuyp sends Daubigny packing 11-2.
