Paintings

I like painting, it is one of the most beautiful arts humans can perform.

One of my favorite paintings is this one it is called "La Condeza de Vilches" by Antonio Madrazo, a Spanish painter. It is a beautiful portrait of a very young and attractive countess, she was an important woman in the Spanish society.

It is very realistic, in dark colors for the background and light colors for the young woman. It is full of details in her face, dress and the couch she is sitting in.

Madrazo wanted to express all the beauty and youth of this woman full of life.

I like it because I think it is a great canvas.
