Toledo!
An art gallery inside of the Cathedral of Toledo. The paintings along the left and rand-hand side walls were done by El Greco, who was commissioned to paint the 12 disciples. It is said that El Greco chose the faces of the disciples as those of people he saw leave the insane asylum in Toledo.
The alterpeice in the Cathedral of Toledo. Scenes from the life of Jesus rise from the bottom to top, beginning with his birth and ending with his crucifixion. Interesting, each scene consists of statues construed by several renowned arquitects, sculpturers, and painters of the time, rather than paintings, as was common.
