PS: you might want to add the main rules (no googling etc, no two guesses in a row, except for 24 h rule), because this subject could attract different players.

Well, is B2 a Monet?

I think this is probably very difficult. Heck, I am married to an artist, and I recognise only a handful. Allowing guesses without penalties would seem reasonable to me.

Sorry Quail. Although I've tested this out on someone at work and he thought exactly the same.

(When I first saw that you said I was wrong, I was like, "What the hell?" I'm sure I'm right. Then I fumed a bit, and had the uncomfortable "uh-oh" flash. I've always had trouble with forgetting that Caravaggio is a seperate person.)

OK. Just so I can steal it from casinopete, I'll have a go at D5: The Ambassadors by Holbein.

BTW, I assume "no googling" means no use of any reference material of any kind, eg books, calendars, chocolate box tops, other internet resources, even to confirm guesses?

C1 is Waterhouse's "The Lady of Shalott"...
One surrealist and one arthurian theme - that about covers my knowledge of art.
