Giotto! Though I'd love to visit the collapsing room.

The father of Western art or the father of the renaissance Kama Sutra...

I'll go Giulio.

Oh maaaannnnn, Giulio Romano is awfully good. But I will go with Giotto for three reasons: (1) he's The Father of Us All, (2) I have fond memory from Quiz days of trying to mislead people into thinking image #1 was by Grandma Moses, and (3) Mrs.5000 would probably kill me if I voted against Giotto in Round 1.

By postcard: "Giotto. One of the Great G's -- no wonder you said that they would take so long. Amazing after the letdown of the Es and Fs.

Chuckdaddy said...

Not that it will change things,'but I am switching my vite to giotto. He is just too lapis lazulitastic for words

So, Giotto. Very cool, and although I had no idea that he was the father of us all, I can imagine it with those dates. But Giulio Romano? Googling some of his images (not all!) sold me on him. Color me pagan today with a vote for Giulio.

Giotto is lapis lazulitastic y en fuego with an 8-3 spree over Giulio Romano. On to Round Two!
