Goya's tomb surrounded by his frescoes |
Paseo de la Florida, 5 Madrid 28008 +34 91 542 0722 |
In 1798, Goya himself painted the frescoes on the dome in here and the result is charged with his usual expressive detail and originality. Called Milagro de San Antonio de Padua, it represents one of his most important works. The chapel itself is a simple and elegant example of late-18th century neoclassical design and it houses the brilliant artist's tomb. In order to preserve the painting, an identical chapel was built next door in 1928 where mass is now held. Review © 2009, Wcities |
