Famous Spanish Paintings, Art, and Painters

When one thinks of famous Spanish Painters the first person that comes to mind is usually Diego Rivera. That is if any name comes to mind! He is a very famous Spanish artist with many great paintings and works of art to his name. The image to the right is a picture of his famous mural at the National Palace. In addition to this mural he also made many more, including some controversial ones. A few of his murals are pictured below.



Although Rivera's murals are clearly beautiful works of art, I am partially to his paintings. This Spanish painting by Rivera is simply called Flower Carrier. I like this painting because of its simplicity and powerful message. I believe that this is in my top ten Spanish paintings for sure. Hope that you like it too!
