Goya´s Tomb and Fresco

One of the little churches that I was looking for had the famous Spanish artist Goya buried there and some of his fresco on the dome and ceiling. For those who don´t know, fresco is basically painting with plaster - so you only get one chance with it and lasts a long time.

When I was there, they were just finishing up the restoration work on the roof so it has a ´new´ brilliance to it. It was interesting to see these as they look so much like his normal oil paintings in terms of style. They also had these funky mirrors to magnify the roof images rather than bending your neck.
