Tintoretto. I love that one with the cherubs coming through the wall, even though usually I can't stand cherubs for one second.

Henri for me

Toulouse-Lautrec for me. This shouldn't even be a contest. I mean, I guess some people like medieval religious pictures with no perspective or trace of human feeling, and other people like vitality and color and worldly human emotion. It takes two kinds. Anyway, Toulouse-Lautrec.

From FB, Mariah goes with Tintoretto and Rebecca with Toulouse-Lautrec, but actually it's the other way around. One vote apiece, anyway.

This is the kind of pairing that people used to complain about, when there were still people around who complained about pairings. I'll go with Tintoretto, because I don't care much for Toulouse-Lautrec.

And this one ends with ten votes for Toulouse-Lautrec, five for Tintoretto. There's another Italian master in Toulouse-Lautrec's future, but Tintoretto is out of the game.
