Hello! I am Adrián, a native of Andalusia. I currently live in Madrid for work reasons. I have always considered myself in love with art, which is why I decided to study History. In the years of my degree I was forging my passion for art until today. I am quite talkative when it comes to explaining the works, although I also like to start a conversation with visitors about the paintings. I try to make the visit entertaining and comprehensive, since art has to reach the general public and not stay only within the walls of the museum. I haven't been in Madrid for long, but I can recommend some places to eat or go out, not everything will be art.

Tour description

THE PRADO MUSEUM IN TWO HOURS!

We will go through the enormous rooms of this national art gallery created by Isabel de Braganza in 1819 and we will discover the history of this building and the masterpieces that it keeps.
The visit will begin with flamenco art. The paintings in this room will make our feelings come to the surface thanks to the great landscape quality that these artists have.
In the second part of the visit we will imbue ourselves with Renaissance and Baroque that the Hispanic Monarchy was in charge of bringing expressly from Italy and Flanders. A continuation of this part will be the visit to the rooms of Velázquez, Murillo or Ribera, masters of the Spanish baroque.
The third and last part of the visit will go through the art generated from the Age of Enlightenment. An art whose starting signal will be given by the genius of Fuendetodos , Don Francisco de Goya. Here we will see from his most popular paintings to the most outstanding of his enormous pictorial work.
