Pic related is universally considered one of the greatest paintings ever made.

Also Spain had writers like Lope de Vega who is also one of the best playwrights Europe has ever seen.

Modern art doesn't care about precision and realism because there's photography for that, if you look at Guernica with attention for instance you can see the strong emotional charge that a realistic painting would not be able to convey, and also it's full of hidden meanings

Italy was integrated in the HRE, while Spain was not. HRE invented the university in Italy, it was Stupor Mundi the Italo-German Troll Kaiser.

>>54873254
Ok, fair enough - then he just invented the state university. I believe it's possible that Paris had one before as well, although not state-funded, which does make quite a difference.

And I'm not saying F.II gave much of a shit about Germany - but he WAS Emperor of the HRE. And not the worst one desu.

Iberians are like Irish people: lazy as fuck and sluggish. They also share the same ancestors for the most part.

It's interesting that you would say that in the same thread where I showed that it laid the cornerstone of the modern state-funded professional education system. What would you see it do to have been more relevant, kill infidels?

Bologna was earlier, but wasn't state-founded. And when Bologna got its charter, it was from a certain Barbarossa, who as it is rumored was endowed with certain royal privileges by an Empire that claimed to be both Roman and Holy.

>>54874074
Oh, I think Paris is still pretty amazing. Just that it suucks the life out of the rest of France like a vampire. Much like London does with Britain. It alll has up- and downsides.

>>54875221
imo the advantage of a city like London or Paris is that you have a center stage that shows the country what it means to be British, French, whatever. I would imagine that is among the reason why Nationalism worked way earlier in France and Britain, and even in Vienna. And also in Austria with Vienna, and maybe Italy with Rome...the list goes on, I guess. Probably also why Germans have no "manners", there was no center stage to present a national character for quite some time. Not even saying this is all social engineering - more something like self-reinforcing social dynamics.

And the downside to this is that a center stage naturally attracts the talent and the money, which means a more uneven distribution, while Germany has all those shitty small states who all deserve their own unis and whatever, leading to a less unequal distribution. I guess this is changing now with Berlin. But it will take very long.
