The music festival was a 12 hour marathon and we knew better than to get there too early. There was no way we could last the entire 12 hours so we added another activity. We wanted to eat a big lunch so we did not have to eat the food truck food at the concert. It wasn't easy as the first five places we stopped at were completely full. We finally found a Dutch place for lunch and the schnitzel I ordered was passable, but Leslie's spring roll turned out to be a deep fried curry egg roll! We ate what we could and then headed over to the Seville Fine Arts museum. It was 50% religious artifacts and the rest were mostly portraits. The real gem was the building that housed the museum! It was housed in a former convent built in 1594.
Looking for a restaurant and this square was decked out
Grand doors
Extended balconies
A great secret courtyard
A bike used as a sign for the restaurant
We got the worst table in the place
Our bill came pout in a little wooden shoe
The museum
A fun fixture
The building shines right off the bat
Carved wooden panels
Clearly the church was the main art benefactor
Hmmm, a severed head
Anatomically correct
When your new friends invite you over for dinner!
Mustache row
Tiles
So colorful and detailed
Ceramic and a wall hangiong
This is a serious ceiling
So much going on
Very inmpressive
The door into the library
A sleepy little tyke
Dog wrestling
A much more friendly dog
The galleries were very well designed
A painting of an exorcism
The little demon that emerged
An entire wall depicting the life of a saint
Another serious ceiling
Carving and more carving
Did the artist die and the angel finished the painting. Or did the angel kill the artist and deface the painting?
A bit of period correct mucic
The townsfolk hold up a painting of Saint Francis of Paola which stops an earthquake mid-tremor
Fine cabinetry
The center of attention
Photo realism from before there was photography
We have entered the bullfighting wing
This matador did not make it
Do not distract the matadors befor the fight
The three eras of this woman's life, single, married and widdowed
Ahhhhh the ruffled skirt
We have reached the end
Heading out via the courtyards
Back outside
Knockers
Heading back to the car next to the local market
