...and I'll start the bidding with Holbein, Perugino, and Schnabel.

Morgan said...

I'll vote for old favorites Daubigny and Canaletto, and also
Perugino and Beauneveu. I am amused about how lumpy the Salviati babies are

Perugino, Schnabel, Daubigny, and Canaletto.

Elliott said...

Perugino, Daubigny, Canaletto, and Salviati.

Chuckdaddy said...

Wow! I really like them all. Is this the new future of the ladder? I'll give of a 4/7 vote to all.

Chuckdaddy said...

That's not allowed? Okay then.

Well Holbein and Perugino will get my vote for like forever.

I respect Canaletto but have grown a bit bored of him. There's something a little muted about these gorgeous Venetian scenes.

I really like the over-the-top chaos with muscled babies of Salviati but no so much his portraits.

I don't like Schnabel quite as much as I want to.

So I'll go with the glowing Beauneveu, Daubginy, Holbein, and Perugino.
