The Baroque painter Luca Giordano has two paintings in the Military Cathedral in Madrid. They represent the parents of Mary and also the Holy Family. Two Corinthian columns are the protagonists of the main altarpiece. Over there you can see the painting of San Benito and San Bernardo, which is the work of Goya's contemporary, Gregorio Ferro.
