Judd, Canaletto, Daubigny. Who for the fourth? How about Holbein?

Chuckdaddy said...

Sweet! I only like 2 of the artists (Daubigny and Holbein) so I have anti-votes.

Judd for sure gets one (well minus one).

Then I'm not sure. I want to hate Batoni, but the more I look at his pictures the more I like them. Yes, everyone appears to be leaning on something with a cocky expression on their face, but they are kind of amazing. So I'll instead cast my other anti-vote for Murillo, who's just too too.

Daubigny, Judd, and Canaletto.

I'll go with Holbein! And, whatever, I guess I'll throw a bone to Canaletto too, because that London one is all like "wow, London in the 1700s! Where's the big Ferris wheel?

Holbein, Canaletto, Beccafumi. And certainly Murillo--a solid, important, wide-ranging painter, once you've gotten past the putti.

Michael5000 said...

This may be unprecedented, by I've got some votes here from Mrs. Chuckdaddy, who votes in favor of Murillo, Daubigny, and Holbein, and votes firmly against Judd.

Candida said...

Holbein,Daubigny.

Elliott said...

Daubigny, Canaletto, Becafumi, and Batoni.

Susan says "I'm throwing Judd overboard for: Beccafumi, Holbein, Canaletto & Daubigny."
