Catalonian National Art

The Catalans converted the fortress at Montjuic, which had been used by Generalissimo Franco as a center to torture and execute those with independent leanings (the Catalans don't quite consider themselves Spanish) to their National Art Gallery.

It starts with Romanesque, works through the middle ages and Rennaissance, right into the modern. Some pretty amazing artwork in there, much of it from churches. Here are a few of my favorites, and a surprise.

(Look at who painted the last one...bet you couldn't guess)
