Name That Artist (the answers)

A week ago I posted a series of ten paintings asking readers to identify the artists. Today I'm ending the competition by posting the names of each artist and a little about each work. As I mentioned in the beginning, these are not obscure artists, though some of their works seen here may be. To those who have identified all ten artists correctly--congratulations, you may officially deem yourself an art historian. If you got eight out of ten, consider yourself an art appreciator. If you got six out of ten consider yourself lucky. If you got four out of ten, then hurry, beat a path immediately to your nearest art museum. If you got two out of ten maybe you should look at becoming an expert on gold coins with the face of Abraham Lincoln on them.  If you got none of the ten correct, go to the internet, type in "Mona Lisa," and start your art appreciation training again from scratch.

Now where did I put that painting?
Peter Paul Rubens (After Leonardo), Battle of Anghiari, ca. 1600.

Sorry about the curve ball here. The Leonardo original is lost. This is a drawing by Rubens from the original when it was on the wall of Hall of Five Hundred (Salone dei Cinquecento) in the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence. Some art historians believe it is still there, but covered up by later frescoes.
