Other than not voting for Gorky, there are some tough decisions. I also drop off Bartolomeo and Domenichino, who can be a bit silly (nothing wrong with unicorns, but...)

So that leaves Vouet, van Leyden, Gros and Wadsworth.

I'm suffering a little bit of Vouet Fatigue. Domenichino for sure (OMG Unicorn!) and van Leyden for sure. Like the Gros portrait, but the history paintings aren't my jam... Know what, I'm gonna say Gorky.
