View of Toledo
El Greco, 1541–1614 · 1600
The Spanish city of Toledo under a stormy green-grey sky. One of the first European paintings to make the landscape the real subject.
Why it's great for language
A storm over a Spanish town — great for weather and 'there is/are'.
A gentle note
El Greco's work fits weather, nature, the city better than "present simple". Try one of those focuses, or pick another artist from the gallery.
