To visit Toledo is to gain a bit of insight, if you will, into why painters like El Greco produced more masterpieces after arriving here. A correlation between heightened creativity and a geographical location of an artist would be an interesting thing to know more about, but for now I will just peek a little into his creative psyche by quoting him:
I paint because the spirits whisper madly inside my head.
Artists create out of a sense of desolation. The spirit of creation is a excruciating, intricate exploration from within the soul.
I was created by the all powerful God to fill the universe with my masterpieces.
Art is everywhere you look for it, hail the twinkling stars for they are God's careless splatters.
