violins in the art in Spain and Portugal

August 13, 2007 at 8:54 PM

More violins in the art in the museum of Sitges near Barcelona:

Detail (one tile) of a big wall of 30 tiles with a violinplayer outside the museum in a street in Sitges near Barcelona, Spain.

All the tiles (down under and a little left of the middle the violinplayer)in Sitges.

A bronze Mozart lookalike violinplayer

A miniature violinplayer in a vitrine

angel with violin

A painting with a violin.

A detail with a violinplayer in Barcelona of a bridge over a street.

The whole bridge. Under the camera was the detail with the violin.

A wall with 2 violins on tiles in a coffeebar under a arena where we saw fighting bulls in Lisboa.

In Spain they kill the bull, in Portugal the wounded bull leaves alive the arena
with some cows and lives on.
But perhaps they better can play violin in this arena than "playing" with bulls.
