I really, really like Bellini. But I looked up George Bellows on Wikipedia, and now he's, like, one of my favorite American painters. So I was all set to vote for him! But then I took one last look at Bellini's St. Francis in Ecstasy--long a favorite of mine, and damned if I didn't change my mind again. I guess I'm just drawn to a crisp, radiant Renaissance landscape over a swirly, radiant, impressionist one. So Bellini for me. But I'm going to be keeping my eyes out for the Bellows dude in the future. Especially since he's one of Margaret's folks.mrs.5000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-87864702505157614082012-03-17T05:43:59.138-07:002012-03-17T05:43:59.138-07:00G.
