I love these painters also.<BR/><BR/>For me, Bosch is interesting - but in a rather clinical and intellectual way. I can't really get into his paintings emotionally - too much weirdness and symbolism, too much going on.The Solitary Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284354541952038339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-89575017498831006872008-11-12T10:11:00.000+00:002008-11-12T10:11:00.000+00:00Not my cup of tea at all S.W!!!When in Madrid I av...Not my cup of tea at all S.W!!!<BR/>When in Madrid I avoided the Prado so that I didn't have to see lots of Goya and Velasquez!!! The other two art galleries (names escape me) nearby had a wonderful selection of Picasso (including Guernica and Clarinetist). I think it is the depressing subject matter that puts me off (although I adore Bosch and his pictures of hell - so not sure what that says about me!)The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.com
