Just got back from Dublin, and in the National Gallery there, one of the standout paintings is an El Greco--his portrait of St. Francis. I am always stunned by how modern, how timeless, how ever-relevant El Greco's paintings are. How fitting that I should return home and find El Greco--and another favorite saint--featured here! Always a treat! Keep up the good work!
