This tour is made only with small groups. It was prepared it in order for the visitor to enjoy a lot appreciating art and discovering the origin of the spanish painting collections. Everything starts to make sense (and becomes more exciting) as we get to know about the historical context and the connections among the different monarchs and artists. Let's visit El Prado!
Along this tour we will visit the largest and most important painting gallery around the world, El Prado Museum, approaching the most outstanding artists and masterpieces in it. First of all, we will get to know a little bit about both the origin of the building and the origin of the collections. Then, following a chronological order, we will go through the centuries between XV and XIX, placing special emphasis on those artists who worked in Spain or worked for the Spanish Monarchy; from Tiziano, passing through El Greco, Rubens or Velázquez (between others), upto Goya. As plastic artist and art restorer that I am, I've prepared this tour in order for the visitor to dive into the great treasure that El Prado museum houses, understanding the different historic contexts and the relation between one artwork and the other, learning a lot and having fun at the same time.
