View of Toledo (1599-1600) 🎨 El Greco 🏛️ The Metropolitan Museum of Art 📍 New York City, United States

Writing to the sculptor Auguste Rodin after having been astonished by this painting in Paris in 1908, the poet Rainer Maria Rilke described how “splintered light tills the ground, turning it over, tearing into it and bringing up here and there pale green meadows behind the trees standing like insomniacs.” Regarded as El Greco’s greatest landscape, it portrays Toledo, the city where he lived and worked for most of his life. But it is an emotive rather than a documentary vision that not only imaginatively revises the skyline—most notably, the cathedral has been moved—but also distorts architecture and landscape such that they are fully in service of the kind of drama Rilke and other modernists appreciated in his work.

GENERAL DISCLAIMER: please keep in mind that I got access to these game profiles from gamerch, but unfortunately not all of them have all the information. Wherever you see a "//", it's because that info wasn't on the site and I couldn't find anyone who unlocked it. If you happen to have it, please send it to me! Also, some characters will have more infos than other because they had more cards in the game.

Other note: know that, in this case, "strength" is their painting technique or what they use in paintings.

A Vision from St. Pearl (or, I did Minecraft fanart for a 200-point project)

This, as well a presentation on El Greco, will make or break my Spanish grade. The assignment here was to create an artwork in the style of the artist we chose. Sharp contrasts and shadows, fabric folds, and elongated figures were his Thing, so I had to do my best to replicate that. And since a lot of art at the time was religious, I thought that sticking to the theme might be appropriate.

So, despite knowing next to nothing about either season of Empires, I spent over a week working on a somewhat generic image of Saint Pearl and Sausage. I did really well on Sausage… not so much for Pearl.

My thanks to @darubyprincx for explaining the backstory on the lore, and tolerating me randomly sending them progress reports on this.
