Went to the Prado today and saw lots of art, mostly by artists commissioned to paint religious themes. Bosch, Rubens, El Greco, Titian (Tiziano), Raphael, etc. in the 1500-1700 period. Lots of wild graphic interpretations of christian myths obsessing on the evils of sex (see Bosch's Triptych "garden of earthly delights"), where it started (the garden of eden), and where transgressors would wind up (hell.) Also many paintings of the temptations of various saints, adorations of Jesus by magi and shepherds and crucification depictions.
