Piero di Cosimo and RENAISSANCE DINOSAURS!

I'm not that excited about either, but I'll vote di Cosimo.

I find this to be a tough one between two pretty awesome painters I've never heard of before. I was first drawn to Piero di Cosimo, I think mostly because it felt different from most Renaissance painters. But I was blown away by the first Pietro da Cortona, and assume I'd be even more so if I saw it in purpose. A google search then commenced, which did leave me back with Cosimo, by a mistress.

Definitely Piero di Cosimo.

Michael5000 said...

Piero di Cosimo for sure. It's hard to take any competition seriously after that first image.

Candida said...

Si, di Cosimo.

And it's a sweep: ten to nothing for that first guy! They will move on to new contests, where we'll be able to distinguish their names a little better.
