Wonderful, Gail! Bosch is so trippy. I recall standing for nearly an hour in front of his Last Judgement painting in Munich, thinking I could stand there all day and still find new things in it. What an imagination! Sharon, thanks for that link.
As for the Prado – it’s unutterably marvelous. I had the great good fortune to live about 10 minutes’ walk from it in Madrid. I spent many hours there enraptured, and I took from it a deep love and reverence for the Spanish masters: El Greco, Velazquez, Goya, Murillo, Zurbaran… *sigh* I want to go back!
