I love Goya. Love the subtle way he made a comment. Not so subtle really if I can see it.
I love the way he did things.
Prado Gallery is just down the road.
It holds the most famous of Spanish paintings.
I get to see Goya.
I saw the famous ones. The execution one. The gory eating one. I also saw the dark ones. The black paintings. All of them together in a creepy dull room. Grotesque faces. Dark cavern mouths and eyes.
Velasquez and Raphael and heaps of other magnificent paintings by people I have never heard of in all my study and research tucked away in rooms found only in the getting lost in the place. Head out and find more.
Again, whizz by the ones that deserve hours of appreciation. The Vatican all over again. I would be here all year if everything that deserved attention received it.
But I did see Goya.
