Prado Museum

For anyone who is passionate about art or wants to begin exploring beauty, this art manual, suitable for people with varying degrees of knowledge, is a must-have for your library. As Professor H. W. Janson described it, it is an intellectual and physical delight.

This book is for all those artists or beginners in the visual arts who have run out of ideas or need a push to look at reality from another point of view. Journalist and method teacher Julia Cameron helps us rediscover reality from the point of view of creativity, showing us that we are all creative and that imagination has no limits. If you don't know how to get out of that state of blockage, this book is for you.

For history buffs, those who like to know how it all began and how what we know today was built. Specifically, this book tells the story of the great Prado Museum. In its pages, you will find great anecdotes and events that took place within the walls of the Villanueva building and that guides don't usually mention.

In this manual, you can enjoy these two great artists, comparing their work with more than four hundred years between them. You will see how artists develop by observing and copying others, which is how Pablo Picasso's work was born and developed. If you are interested in this type of book, we also recommend looking for the catalog of the Picasso/Lautrec exhibition at the Thyssen.

This small handbook offers a spiritual tour of the Prado Museum, presenting twenty-six works related to the Old Testament, each with a brief description and image. This reflects the idea of Benedict XVI: the Old Testament announces what the New Testament fulfills, being both prophecy and commentary (Verbum Domini 41).
