I'm voting for Ghirlandaio, primarily for the second painting. Every time I look at it I see/think of something different.

I actually like them both a lot, but I'll vote for Ghirlandaio.

Hmm, Ghirlandaio is nice and I'd probably vote for him if I didn't have a big soft spot for Kokoschka thanks to childhood days in the Albright Knox. So, Kokoschka.

Ghirlandaio, but respect to Kokoschka, who rocked my confident vote there.

Time's Up! It's Ghirlandaio in a landslide, nine votes to two. He's on to the Third Round!
