Mastery of paintings, artistic periods, painters and influences among them from the main museums in Madrid (especially Museo del Prado: Flemish Primitives, Italian Primitives, Baroque Masters: Rubens' Century in the Museo del Prado.

I love taking guided tours of the different rooms of the Prado Museum, with a detailed explanation of the paintings.

Tour description

When we look at a painting, not only a few characters appear that move in a more or less structured landscape background.
The painting is a book and at the same time it is a theater ; the painting speaks to us, we are going to listen to it, we are going to read what it is telling us. The painter wants to record, not only his mastery, but that he knows occult sciences, influences, derivations and legends. All this is a painting, if not, we will pass in front of it having lost the essence of what it is and we will leave as we came, without understanding it.
This is what I am going to tell you and before your eyes, a hitherto unknown story will unfold. Come with me to check it out, I won't let you down.
The tour is specific to the Prado Museum, both in the permanent and temporary collections. Different styles, periods and painters are visited in a tour of approximately 2 hours, which will pass without you noticing.

Important information:
It is advisable to arrive in advance as I will accompany you to the ticket office so that you can purchase the tickets. Once done we will go to the entrance to begin our visit.
