Anima Toletum is the tower of the Cathedral of Santa María, also called the Primate Cathedral of Spain, it is a Catholic temple of Gothic architecture in Toledo, with the introduction of Mudejar forms, considered by some to be the magnum opus of this style in Spain. The view is taken from the Alcázar, which gives a new view of the bell tower, made up of two bells on each of the four facades and in the center the fat bell, which has brought so many legends. On the square structure of Alvar Martínez, master Hanequin, crowned the tower with an octagonal body with pinnacles and flying buttresses and ends the arrow-shaped tower with three crowns like tiaras. The view reminded me of how Blasco Ibáñez called it "the giantess" in his work "The Cathedral" in which he raised social issues in the history of Spain.

Lacquer

Paint made with a resin from tree sap, various shrubs or with lacquer paints based on thermosetting resins. The technique consists in superimposing layers of lacquers with a vigorous polishing between each layer. It is mostly smooth shiny, but can sometimes also be satin or very Matt.

Oil

Paint consisting of pigments bound with linseed oil or carnations. The traditional technique consists of superimposing layers of paint increasingly rich in oil for a solid and durable hanger.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.
