These are what I really like today.
I have never been to the Prado and know that I have to.
This El Greco was one of Picasso's favorites and weighs heavily into Demoiselle de Avignon at the Museum of Modern Art. The Picasso came also deeply from Cezanne and his Bathers-- the surface idea much from Medieval Spanish Manuscripts, similar to the Early Italian, Matisse was into.
One finds ones own story from a lifetime of looking.

This lineage is one of the reasons we grow to love these paintings as family. Funny that El Greco was never well liked until the Modern era. Pollock and Benton revered El Greco. Pollocks composition comes from the movement better displayed in other El Grecos.
This Portrait is great also.
El Greco himself.
A borrowed painting of Velazquez on display in its own room.
Velazquez, and a Horse Portrait I think the large version at the Prado?
A Great Goya.
