Museo del Prado

Guided tour of the permanent collection of the Museo del Prado, with works by Goya, El Greco, Rubens and Velázquez and explanations of the artists, their techniques and the historical context of each piece.

The Museo del Prado, one of Madrid's most important picture galleries, hosts this guided tour of its permanent collection. During the tour, the commentary covers the biography of the artists, their techniques and the historical context of each work.

The itinerary begins with the Black Paintings by Francisco Goya, works of a sombre tone in which darkness and human struggle dominate. It continues with the elongated figures of El Greco, a painter of Greek origin whose work left its mark on the Spanish Renaissance.

The museum's galleries house works by Rubens, with intense colours and dramatic scenes that are masterpieces of the Baroque. The visit concludes with Las Meninas by Diego Velázquez, a complex and detailed composition that is considered one of the high points of Western art.
