Britain and France made shit tons of art when they had their

because Spain and Portugal were always shit
They only had successful empires because they were in the perfect geograhical spot for colonialization

Cause you are not very bright.

>>1934717
Are you implying that there was no notorious artists in Spain in the 16th and early 17th century...?
Have you even been to Spain? Have you even heard of the Prado or the Escorial for instance?

>shit tons of art

Why didn't the same apply for these two?

It did, you cunt.

>>1934717
>>1934737
You two are pretty ignorant of XVI and XVII century history.

Google Velazquez, el Greco, El Prado museum, el Escorial.

Spain and Portugal had empires capable of stealing the advanced artworks of the Americas, MENA, Africa, India, and China; while England and France still floundered in the dark ages.

WEW LAD

Yes because white people are bad and dumb and must steal everything from brown, yellow and red people.

Thank you for your politically correct yet historically pathetic post.

Spain has more world heritage sites than France or Britain.

>>1935292
>US below Russia
They can't even protest that the US is younger because most of their heritage sites are natural and the Russian cultural sites are largely from the Imperial era.

You can say the same thing about Germany, France, Spain and Italy and that isn't stopping them.

If anything, India is also embarrassing by landing so low despite its longevity and size.

Spain has always had great painters, writers, poets and architects too

>>1934717
They had plenty, you're just ignorant. Velasquez and Goya are among the best painters of their times.

Op confirmed for art pleb. Spain is literally better at art than Britain.

Yeah, literally who?

He's Sullivan of the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. Those operettas that helped pave the way for the modern musical. The operettas that were one of earliest international (as in over oceans, North America and Australia) sensations

Alfonso VI wouldn't agree. Besides, Al Andalus's architecture is pretty great.

>Al Andalus's architecture is pretty great
Most of it is shit.Outside of the Mosque in Cordoba and the Alhambra evreything else that they did is pretty unimpressive.Christian towns have way better architecture as a whole and better monuments
