It's another peculiar one!  Last week's results promote four artists onto this rung, instead of the usual three.  They run smack into Cozens, Holbein, and Canaletto, all coming off of a tie for First two weeks ago.  What's more, we've got all-conquering Daubigny, fresh off of what amounted to a three-week vacation.  And then we bring in enough new artists to get us up to seven?  No!!  We're already at eight!  That makes today's match particularly precarious: barring ties, a full half of the field will fall off the Ladder this week.
