Both are pretty bad, British is slightly better.

Not exactly fond of the British one, but the American is downright ugly.

This is seriously some uncanny valley shіt. Would be more fitting for a King Crimson album or a horror themed compilation.

As a former art teacher ; I want to weigh in on Renaissance covers. The American version looks Italian modernism to me: the circles as a mass focal point; the pseudo Art Nouveau flowers (in complementary colors) provide a color focal point against the neutral color -brown. The faces provide a measure of angst and sereness. These are found in the music Renaissance creates. For me a better cover. The other cover looks like a washed out pastel children's book of the 1940's.

I like them both, but I'd pick the original as my album cover if I were in the band. It just look more authentically old world, if that was the point.
