An almost identical painting, 11 years apart, by two masters, both said to have laid the foundations for impressionism. How awesome is that.
If I had to choose (I wish!), I'd plump for John's.
Why?
Although both are radiant and sublime and brilliant; John's surprises me. Everytime!
Any views, anyone?
