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.

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

what do you even mean with this retard

>Have you even been to Spain?

It did, you cunt.

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.

Holy shit you cannot be taking the bait this hard

>Britain and France made shit tons of art when they had their empires.
Spain has more world heritage sites than France or Britain.

...

>Britain
>Art

>UK bellow Mexico and India
Embarrassing.

>India has had civilizations older than britain.
>India is much larger than britain.
>"Why isn't the oldest sheep shagging pit a heritage site?"

>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.

>India has had civilizations older than britain.
>India is much larger than britain.
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.

You're the retard here desu

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

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.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The destruction of the Aztecs WAS the art.

Are you retarded?

>implying he isn't reacting to this bait with a countermeme
It's the next dimension of meme warfare, rookie

They did. It was just during the 10th century when Muslims were in charge

Muslims were shit at everything though.

>There 0 English composers.
>The most famous "English" Composer is fucking Handel.

>who is arthur seymour sullivan

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

>There 0 English composers.

>mfw every shitty spanish village has old townhouses filled to the rim with paintings and tapestries, not to mention the churches.

>writers
To put it stylishly, "no".

Quantity < Quality

Modern literature was born in Spain m8.

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

So the modern musical have been created by a brit? This just makes me hate you lads even more

It did.
