ARCHITECTURE TOLEDO pt 2 * Golden Era

Following on from Toledo part one, this lecture was a continuation of the history of Toledo and it's beautiful buildings.

We learned how to identify the different styles of architecture by looking at the ornate carvings, festoons and magical fantastic creatures.

We looked at el Greco paintings and also at a number of drawings done at the Romantic era.

It was sad to see the destruction of the Alcazar from bombings in the civil war but amazing to see how it has been restored.

I am really looking forward to joining Karla's trip to Toledo to see all these beautiful historic buildings putting my learnt knowledge into what I am seeing.

Karla mixes art and the history and context of how it is all created.

I highly recommend Karla's teaching and events.
