Into the dream picture that Madrid tells us
Prado Museum

The Prado is one of the world's most important museums, boasting a collection of works that illuminate the history of European painting from the 15th to the late 18th centuries, as well as works with close ties to Spanish politics, and is of sufficient quality and quantity to stand at the center of the world.

The works presented here have been carefully selected through the Royal Society of Spain's rigorous screening process, allowing you to appreciate the splendid works of masters such as Titian, Rubens, and Velázquez as if you were in the middle of a museum without having to go there.
The works are organized by chronology, and each piece on display in a museum is explained in a friendly manner, as if guiding you through each room, so you can see the details that deserve your attention up close.

The interconnectedness of the major European painting schools, or the significant paintings that occupy a significant position in the history of art, unfold before our eyes the works of the great masters, from Rogier van der Weyten to Bosch, from Dürer to Raphael, from Greco to Van Dyck, from Tiepolo to Goya.
