Only got 7. I'm a bit butthurt about this. Not because I have any training in art history, but because I had a wildly inflated, now punctured, notion of my ability to recognize the draughtsmanship of dead name-brand artists.
I got 8 out of 9, missing only Egon Schiele (whose work I wasn't familiar with, and after looking him up on Wiki I'm not interested in becoming familiar with his work). I never studied art history (my bachelor's degree is in mathematics and my advanced degrees in computer science) but, really, it came down to a guess only on Van Gogh, and since they eliminate artists after each example by the end they were mostly pretty obvious. Especially the last one!
Got all nine! My art major was a long time ago and I'm surprised it still works. I wasn't familiar with Egon Schiele, but figured him out by process of elimination.
Wow, that was fun, thank you for posting the link. 9/9, of course, but I majored in art history because I have a photographic memory for images. Lord it was easy. (Princeton, that is, but for me, this quiz, too, although it's unfair because I am "differently abled" in a good way!) I was waiting to see hands by that previously unrecognized Italian artist, Mario Cavepeople (pronounced Kah-veh-pe-oh-play).

You'd think I'd do better than 6 out of 9 with an art history minor. Been a long time
6 out of 9 for me, but da Vinci and the cave paintings were gimmies. I can't believe they didn't include some Steve Ditko hands.

6 of 9 as well. I have always enjoyed looking at Diego Rivera hands.
I got all nine, a couple were guesses but if you look at a lot of art it's not difficult.

Yow. My link for the Steve Ditko hands is busted! But this should work.
It was doable. But all those Asian and black hands look alike.

Egon Schiele led inevitably to Steve Ditko.
I am a big fan of both, by the way.
Elbows are the window to the Hands.
I am Laslo.
My score went up to 11. (Well, 7)
I got 8 out of 9 correct.

I wasn't familiar with Egon Schiele,
I know a guy with the same last name who has the same squiggly drawing style when he's drunk, so I felt dumb for missing that one.
I'm going with Leonardo.

8 out of 9. I missed Holbein, thinking it might have been Rosetti. That's not too bad considering Rosetti was aiming at medieval revival.
Well, I got cave people, anyway (lucked out, got five total).
"8 out of 9. I missed Holbein, thinking it might have been Rosetti. That's not too bad considering Rosetti was aiming at medieval revival."
That's exactly the one I missed. I also assumed that it was Rosetti.
If they'd shown faces, I'd have recognized Holbein immediately.
7 of 9. I missed Holbein and Van Gogh.
8 out of 9. Missed Van Gogh. Not bad for an econ major.
