The Spanish monarchs possessed an outstanding zeal for art and built the royal holdings beginning in the fifteenth century. Their connoisseurship shaped a unique collection that distinctly reflects the tastes of successive sovereigns. From the Prado’s great collection, this exhibition brings together works by illustrious artists who have enriched the history of Europe, among them El Greco, Velázquez, and Goya, considered the three greatest Spanish painters, together with Flemish masters such as Bosch and Rubens, and “the Spanish Raphael,” Murillo. These very precious works, some of them on panel, will delight visitors with their delicate and meticulous artistry.
