The Discretized Painter's Data of de Piles

Description

The original painters data contain the subjective assessment, on a 0 to 20 integer scale, of 54 classical painters. The newpainters data discretizes the subjective assessment by quartiles with thresholds 25%, 50%, 75%. The painters were assessed on four characteristics: composition, drawing, colour and expression. The data is due to the Eighteenth century art critic, de Piles.
