Una vez más, el Museo Nacional del Prado ha invitado a sus seguidores a ser parte activa de su proyecto, en esta ocasión, a través de su participación en el vídeo “¿Desde dónde nos ves?”.

Trabajando en la construcción, en un hospital, en una clínica veterinaria, mientras caminan, realizando tareas del hogar, viajando en el metro, desde La Rioja, Andalucía, Cataluña, Canarias, Croacia, Costa Rica, Argentina… el Museo del Prado estés donde estés.

Una selección del medio centenar de vídeos recibidos conforma esta pieza audiovisual con la que el Museo Nacional del Prado quiere agradecer a su millón de seguidores su interés y cariño por la institución.

These 25 works entered the Museum from the General Division for National Artistic Heritage and in the case of 22 of them this information was already available on the Prado’s website.

The Prado has set up an ad hoc research team directed by Arturo Colorado, senior professor and expert on cultural heritage and the Civil War, in order to expand the study of these cases and analyse other possible confiscations.

The conclusions of this study will be published in early 2023 but the full list with information is already available on the Museum’s website.

With the support of American Friends of the Prado Museum, thanks to the generosity of The Arthur & Holly Magill Foundation, the Museo Nacional del Prado offers, from today and until October 16th, the itinerary Reflections of the Cosmos created by Astrophysicist, Montserrat Villar. The route reflects how the changing perception and knowledge of the cosmos was reflected in art of the past.

The breadth of the Prado’s collection makes this perspective based on the history of astronomy possible and invites us to focus on these concepts in a selection of 20 works of art from artist such as Patinir, Rubens, Murillo, Zurbarán or Tiepolo. The itinerary is accompanied with a publication and audioguide.

Discover how art and science connect in this fascinating progression of knowledge over time.

The Prado Museum has architecturally rehabilitated the space of the north Ionic gallery of the Villanueva building as part of its objective to increase the visibility of its sculpture and decorative arts collections.

The gallery will be open to the public from May 19^th, bringing together 56 sculptural pieces that range from Ancient Egypt, through the Greco-Roman period, up to the Renaissance and Baroque periods; precious objects that transmit the validity of classical language and its interpretation through the centuries, of the tangible closeness of three-dimensional works and the rich variety of the Prado Museum's collection.

Room 60 in the Villanueva building brings together a selection of eight works by Francisco Pradilla housed in the Museum. Together with the large painting Doña Juana la Loca and her sketch, exhibited in room 75, these works will enable the visitor to make a tour of his career as a history painter, a part of his profession that gave him his greatest fame. We also celebrate the centenary of the death of this artist, who was Director of the Prado Museum.

The exhibition is sponsored by Ramón y Cajal Abogados and reflects the interest in history painting and the period for which Pradilla had a predilection, the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century, presenting two stages of its production: the initial one devoted to the success of his painting Doña Juana la Loca, and the final one, between 1906 and 1910, when the genre fell into disuse.
