Alter of St Michel and St Peter, c.1433, MNAC, barcelona
by Bernat Despuig & Jaume Cirera. Museu Nacional D'art de Catalunya. Even if you are not religious, the art and architecture of Christianity has a lot to offer. The colour, beauty and virtuosity of these Catalonian works is breathtaking. The only criticism that can be levelled at the museum is that there are TOO many great works! You need time to sit and absorb the details (more benches please in all museums please). Too many tourists wander through devoting 6.5 seconds to each piece. By the end there is the temptation to say, "Oh not another 12th century masterwork"' .
