El Greco, View of Toledo , c. 1604-14.
This is a painting of Toledo, a city in the hilly country of Spain. It was painted 400 years ago by a man people called “the Greek”. In this picture, we see the dark clouds of a storm. The clouds block the sunlight. What words can you use to tell me what this sky looks like? Are the clouds big ? Are the clouds dark ? Are some parts of the sky blue ? Are some parts bright white ? Does the storm look exciting, dramatic, or calm ?
