Private Tour of Madrid

The Prado museum is one of the most important in all of Europe, hosting a world-class collection of highlights of European art.

There are simply too many pieces on display to note them all here, but of special consideration will surely be “Las Meninas” by the great Spanish artist Diego Velazquez Las Meninas, considered by some to be the best painting in the world. The other Spanish master is, without doubt, Francisco de Goya. You can follow this complex man through the stages of his life, from dutiful palace painter to political revolutionary and scandal-monger to the frustrated genius of his ‘black paintings.

Your tour planner will be in touch to discuss which masterpieces you would like to spend the most time with your guide here, but highlights of the Prado Art Museum include:

• Hieronymus Bosch’s fantastic triptych, the Garden of Earthly Delights.
• A collection of Goya’s work including The Family of Charles IV, La Maja Desnuda and La Maja Vestida, Third of May 1808, & the Black Paintings
• Rogier van der Weyden – The Descent from the Cross
• The Birth of the Milky Way by Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens
• Artemisia Receiving Mausolus’ Ashes (Sophonisba Receiving the Poisoned Cup) by Rembrandt.
• The Holy Family and The Cardinal by Italian master Raphael
