1. The Birth of the Blessed Virgin. 2. Her Marriage. 3. The Annunciation. 4, 5, 6. Destroyed. 7. Massacre of the Innocents, and Herod giving orders for it. 8, 9. Destroyed. 10. The Blessed Virgin Mary seated with our Lord, angels above, and three figures with nimbi sitting and adoring, others with musical instruments. 11. The Baptism of our Lord. 12. Destroyed. 13. An ass and its foal, Jerusalem in the background, and indistinct groups of figures. 14. Our Lord riding into Jerusalem. The city has circular towers all round, and churches with two western octagonal steeples. 15. The Last Supper. 16. Our Lord washing the Disciples’ feet; some figures on the right carrying water-jars are drawn with extreme grace. 17. Destroyed. 18. The Betrayal. 19. Our Lord bound and stripped, and, 20. Scourged. (These two subjects are very finely treated.) 21. Brought to the Place of Judgment: desks with open books on them in front. 22. Buffeted and spit upon. 23. Judged: Pilate washing his hands. 24. Bearing the Cross. (This subject is painted round and over a monument on which is the date XXIII. October, A.D. MCCCCXL.; so that it must be of later date than this.) 25. Nailed to the Cross: the Cross on the ground. 26. The Descent from the Cross. 27, 28. The Descent into Hell. 29. The Incredulity of St. Thomas, and the appearance of our Lord on the way to Emmaus. 30. The Ascension. 31. The Descent of the Holy Ghost. It will be noticed that the Crucifixion is most remarkably omitted from this series. There is no place on the wall for it, and it occurred to me as possible that there may have been a crucifix in the centre of the cloister, round which all these paintings were, so to speak, grouped.[119] There are several fine monuments in these cloisters, some of them corbelled out from the wall, and some with recumbent effigies under arches in it. One of the latter is so fine in its way as to deserve special notice. The arch is of two orders, each sculptured with figures of angels worshipping and censing our Lord, who is seated in the tympanum of the arch holding a book and giving His blessing. Below, on a high tomb, is the effigy recumbent; and behind it, below the tympanum, two angels bearing up the soul of the departed. The sculpture is admirable for its breadth and simplicity of treatment; and the monument generally is noticeable for the extent to which sculpture, and sculpture only, has been depended on, the strictly architectural features being few and completely subordinate. The cloister is surrounded by buildings, some of which only are ancient. On the north side are the chapel of San Juan de Regla, another chapel, and the Chapter-house. The latter has one of those foolish Spanish conceits, a doorway planned obliquely to the wall in which it is set.[120]
