Link profile: Museo del Prado


Category: Start / Great Cities of Spain / Madrid / Museums / Golden Triangle
Official website of Madrid's biggest attraction, the Prado Museum, one of the greatest galleries in the world with over 30,000 works, though only a fraction are on view. Its highlights include pictures by great Spanish painters like Velázquez (most notably Las Meninas), Goya (the Majas, clothed and naked, and his powerful documentaries, Dos de Mayo and Tres de Mayo). Even the relatively secondary Spanish artists represented here are awesome: Zurbarán, Murillo, Carreño, and the adopted Spaniard El Greco. Less predictably, it holds important collections of Flemish art (including most of Hieronymus Bosch's most renowned works, especially the Garden of Earthly Delights and The Seven Deadly Sins) and Italian painting, represented by works by Raphael, Caravaggio and, most importantly, Titian, among others.
