What?
A hairstyle we like. He must be over 60 and still havs hair then. 
He’s a really good painter, and evokes the passion this past time can take on. He creates marvels however doesn’t capture that transcending feeling you get looking at a yellow square.
Ahem.

This is going to take me a week to place all my votes as I have to look all these art pieces up for each draw.

Did you miss out something important?
It was close between your painting and the Sistine Chapel.

LOL to letting ‘redbj’ on internet forum ‘the anfield noise’ judge the greatest artwork of all time…
The Empire of Light doesn’t stand much of a chance against the Sistine chapel due to the latter’s fame, but I find it much more moving.
I find that ever since I disputed the integrity of your polls due to the Egyptian Toblerone Scandals, you have been biased against me. You have let you bias deprive the world and this forum of a truly great work of art.

A couple of very interesting clashes; my two favourites are the clash of prehistoric and modern art with Lascaux v Banksy and the last tie, a clash of classical sculpture.
Voting will be left open until the same time next week. 
Can’t choose between the first and last ones at the moment. Will revisit.
