Modest too 🤣

Well done all, and I thought the Rhino was to be my downfall. Good quiz, @Mi-Amigo - better than Monday's one 😖

Q7 ART 2 - Which artist painted "Madonna of the Chair" - with Virgin Mary, Infant Jesus and another child -

in 1514 ?

A7 Raphael - thought this was probably the hardest art question we have had

It was @Mi-Amigo and for some strange reason I couldn't think of his first name but remembered his surname! Will that count?

[Cleoriff]

So you wont give me any credit for getting Raffaello's surname of Sanzio @Mi-Amigo ? 😭 Boo Hoo. 🤣

[Cleoriff]

Oh well. Congratulations @pgn  and well done everyone. I'll look forward to next weeks quiz @Mi-Amigo

Thank you. First time in a long time 😉 Been dying to use that Bond Goldeneye gif of Alan Cumming for ages 😂

[Mi-Amigo]

Sorry I was offline.

Considering Q7 was the hardest art question and as @Cleoriff did give his surname, I think it is only fair to mark her answer as correct and to award her a star. So this means @Cleoriff also qualifies for  Silver Thinker along with @pgn .

Well done each and everyone of you who took part. Much appreciated.

As said, over the weekend I`m going to search out a mixed bag of questions in the four categories for Monday`s WRQ.

Thank you @Mi-Amigo 

3  correct not too bad

Glad I could take part.

Very well done everybody 👏

Oh thanks so much @Mi-Amigo. Really stupid that I couldn't remember his first name but his surname must have stuck in my mind when I did that History of Art course all those years ago.

I'll look forward to Monday's quiz xx

Wahoo, @Cleoriff, well done! I had no clue of Raphael's other name 😖

My invincibility was short-lived 🤣
