He's a strong B-list artist, which means I've had the privilege of seeing a number of his paintings live -- there are enough of them around so that most of the regional musees out here in the North American provinces have one or two in their collection. They are always terrific.<br /><br />However, I vote Jan Bruegel, due to specialness (and if I'm honest with myself, probably a little adherence to the family brand.</b>Michael5000https://www.blogger.com/profile/10148584819327475239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-14424662280600863752013-01-21T15:33:44.115-08:002013-01-21T15:33:44.115-08:00There's a vote-by-email for Bronzino.<b>There's a vote-by-email for Bronzino.</b>Michael5000https://www.blogger.com/profile/10148584819327475239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-8606285862524659262013-01-21T15:23:46.496-08:002013-01-21T15:23:46.496-08:00Bruegel the younger Elder for me.

Okay, Bronzino, because "Venus, Cupid, Folly, and Time" is just so great, esp all those background figures, and maybe especially the reverse-handed, honeycomb-holding, half-monster girl.pflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866574024138674337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-87836317985161732512013-01-17T05:52:05.856-08:002013-01-17T05:52:05.856-08:00Bronzino.

Bruegel!<br />I've seen that middle Bronzino before, and it's always seemed like the cherub over on the left who's copping a feel has an extraordinarily long neck with more vertebrae than most of us have. It always seemed odd in a painting where otherwise, all the bodies seem pretty realistically body-ish.DrSchnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13428753570121627382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-81725049915650487202013-01-15T07:19:00.277-08:002013-01-15T07:19:00.277-08:00While pretty, Bruegel is significantly more visual...While pretty, Bruegel is significantly more visually cluttered, whereas Bronzino pulls off simple aesthetics in a pleasing way.
