There was a plethora of things to get inspired by in Barcelona, and one of my favorite places was the Museu Nacional D'Art de Catalunya. The museum houses an extensive collection of Catalan art from throughout history. Below you’ll see some of my favorite artworks from their current exhibitions.

I’ve always had a special affinity for Byzantine paintings. I love the use of gold leaf and dimensional texture in the halos. This is a detail of the Virgin Mary.

I laughed out loud when I saw this painting: two bandits and a ginormous glass of red wine. I wonder what mischief they are planning!
