Exploring the Mysteries of the Prado & its Art
Overview of the tour in Madrid
Have you ever wondered what stories the brushstrokes of the great masters hide? I invite you to join me on a fascinating journey through the Prado Museum: It all begins with Velázquez and his genius immortalized in "Las Meninas" and will continue with the dark and fascinating universe of Goya. You will come across the striking Black Paintings, which will transport us to the depths of the human soul. I will tell you how, at the end of his life, he left the light behind and plunged into the darkness of his nightmares. What led him to paint like this? Together, we will explore this daunting mystery.
My passion for art comes from hours of wandering the halls of the Prado, storing stories, mysteries, and curiosities that rarely come to light. Through a dynamic and enthusiastic approach, I promise you an immersive experience in which art will come alive before your eyes.
So, if you dare to discover the best-kept secrets of this fascinating museum, this is the tour for you. Together, we will unravel the layers of art, explore the heart of each work, and, perhaps, take home more questions than answers. But that's what makes art so fascinating!
