Canaletto, Chase, Boudin, and Cozens.
Tough decisions! I feel like I can talk myself into any of them, but none are blowing me away. Argh.... I guess I'll go with the on-my-wall test, which lands me with Lancret, Chase, Boudin, and Cozens (who I kind of can't believe was from the 18th century). Cannaletto was close, but I could just replace his with a photograph.
Cozens, Chase, Canaletto, and Lancret.
van Ostade, COZENS (great stuff!), Chase, Canaletto.
Van Ostade, Masolino, Lancret, Chase.
Hmmm. I'll go with Cozens, Masolino, Chase, and Canaletto.
I'll go with Masolino, and let's see, Chase and Canaletto look pretty good in this pack. And one against Cozens, because I can't tell whether the votes for him are sincere or sarcastic.
