Luini, Kauffmann, Sassetta because is that Jesus trying to pick the other guy's pocket while a saint just happens to run into a centaur in the top half? and also those three women look like they're having a great out-of-body experience, and Veronese.

Kauffmann and Wadsworth.

Morgan said...

Luini, Jacques "The shitz" Lipchitz, Sassetta.

OK, definitely Luini, who I don't even remember from the Tourney but dang. And I like Kaufmann too. I mean, really I like everybody but Guston in this set. Let's say Luini, Kaufmann, Sassetta, Wadsworth.

Dang, that was hard!

Elliott said...

Lipchitz, Wadsworth, Veronese, and Kaufmann.

Yeah, I agree that this is a hard set of artists to decide between. I even like Guston! If I have to choose, I'll go with da Vinci Lite (Luini), Titian Lite (Veronese), Picasso as a sculptor (Lipchitz), and the Siennese Bruegal (Sassetta). Although really I'm rooting for the first 7-way tie.

I'll go with Luini, Sassetta, and Wadsworth. Fourth place would go to everyone but Guston. So, hey, I guess I'll use my right to vote against him.

DrSchnell said...

Wadswroth, Lipchitz. and a vote against Guston

Nora said...

Wadsworth, Lipchitz, and Luini. A vote against Guston.

Susan says "Luini, Sassetta & Wadsworth"

Michael5000 said...

Well! A careful perusal of the votes reveal that Luini and Wadsworth get the week off, Sassetta and Lipschitz get right back in the game, Kauffman and Veronese retire with some dignity, and Guston gets run out of town with a -3 vote that is the most painful tally in the history of the ladder, by -2. See ya next week!
