My very first selection as QM was W. G. Grace. (That was also the first round Hominidae won.)

No. That is question 19 by my count, so it is time to get in free guesses.

Awesome. I had a feeling… hence trying to exclude most other types of arts with the prior question (and also purposely leaving wood out of the sculpting part).

Yes, your Q19 did a good job at narrowing things down.

I like to pick people who are the best (or at least the best-known) at a particular thing, so this round was the most famous historical luthier.

I also learned in this round that the Italian language does not use the letters J, K, W, X and Y (except in a few loanwords).

And you've just taught me the word 'luthier.'
