The Infinite Art Tournament Left Bracket Fourth-Round Elimination: Avercamp v. Fra Angelico!





This Left Bracket Fourth Round Elimination Match features Hendrick Avercamp (6-1-3, 80-51, .611) and Fra Angelico (4-1, 41-28, .594). They got here by defeating Basquiat (3-2, 33-35, .485) and Beckman (4-2, 44-40, .524), respectively. Avercamp is making his eleventh Tournament appearance, which I believe is a new record.

Both artists have won against Sofonisba Anguissola, which is saying something.  Fra Angelico beat Arcimboldo, however, while Avercamp only fought him to a draw.  Let's see how they fare against each other.  What do YOU think?


Hendrick Avercamp
1585-1634

Fra Angelico
c.1387-1455
Italian
  • Defeated Florentine master Andrea del Sarto in Round 1 by a decisive but respectful margin.
  • Beat Sofonisba Anguissola in Round 2 by a two-vote swing. YOUR VOTE COUNTS!!! (This match was incorrectly determined a tie in March 2012; the miscount was discovered in May 2013. YOUR VIGILANCE COUNTS!!!)
  • Made it past Arcimboldo in Round 3.
  • Lost to Albrecht Altdorfer in Round 4 by a two-vote swing. YOUR VOTE COUNTS!!!
  • Beat Max Beckmann in the Left Bracket Fourth Round.

Avercamp's fun, but he's skated way out onto the thin ice at this point. I vote for the Fra.

Well, it LOOKS like a six-six tie there... but it ain't, because careful analysis shows that Susan's vote got in there twice. That means that Fra Angelico emerges into the light of the Fifth Round, by a margin of six votes to five. YOUR VOTE COUNTED!!! But only once.
