I like how both of these artists have characters in their paintings that you really want to make up back stories more. I find the Longhi characters more interesting, but overall I like Lorenzo Monaco's art better so I'll vote for him.

Sometimes you just look and know right away. I look, and I know Lorenzo Monaco gets my vote, and I don't need to know why.

It's a tie! It's a 6-6 tie! So, these lads will try again against Gaddi and Gericault, who have been waiting for about a year for another tievin this bracket. Now they can spring back into action.
