    It have some great ideas. I not totally agree with precise ratings, are close of course. Jan Vermeer van Delft is best painter of history by far. I give him 180/180. Savador Dali say one drop of Jan Vermeer van Delft's divine paint worth much more than all paintings that come after him.. I think Jackson Pollock should receive negative score for his infantile dawbings.

    I think he knows much more about painting than I do, so I tend to trust his judgement. He has shown us that he was a quite skillful painter, and an eccentric one.

    I think he has a good system for rating artists. I agree with the placings but differ somewhat in precise scoring..

    I think Picasso is scored too high. I wonder about scoring Raphael ahead of Velasquez. Manet may be a bit high.
