The statues in Spanish churches are often life sized and are made to evoke emotion in a population, many of whom could not read.
Next, I made a stop at the museum.
Price was €3 and after a comical interaction with the receptionist
who insisted the ASEOS were only for customers,
(I had asked for una SELLO)
I finally made my way in.
I was the only patron that morning.
Some of my favorite pieces :
The Young Man Who Illuminates Us is a bronze statue, life sized, found in 1952 in Antequera.
It is from the 1st Century.
Jose Maria Fernandez painted this picture of his daughter, Dolores, with a china doll.
The doll was on display.
I liked his drawings of a satyr and of a priest the moment he was touched by death.
This statue of the sleeping child Jesus by Diega Marquez y Viega made me chuckle.
Next blog post will be a few photos of the white city.
