Cimabue! And Daubigny, Vouet, and Roubiliac.

Michael5000 said...

I'll go, hmm, Daubigny, Lochner, and I'll stick with Vouet for one more go.

DrSchnell said...

Daubigny is the only one I can get enough enthusiasm together for. I'll cast one negative vote for Twombly.

Lochner, Roubiliac, Vouet, and an anti-vote for Twombly.

UnwiseOwl said...

Daubigny, Vouet, and Roubiliac for me.

Gretchen says "Lochner, Vouet, Roubiliac, Twombly" on Facebook. Good to see ol' Twombly getting some love.

Some other votes: Susan says "Still only two votes: Daubigny & Lochner. And an anti-vote for Soutine -- I hoped we'd never see that awful skate (manta ray?) & its innards again!"

Then, Elliott and Nora vote Daubigny and Vouet and against Soutine and Twombly; however, their father seems to suspect collusion and suggests that these only count as one vote.
