Teresa de la Vega
On her guided tours of Madrid’s great art museums, Teresa de la Vega can tell you everything you need to know about the masterpieces and the lesser-known gems in each collection. More importantly, perhaps, she can communicate her passion for those works in such a way that you find yourself sharing that enthusiasm. “Terete” is one of those rare art historians who can take you beyond the mere facts of a painting – the life of the artist, their social context, their materials and methods – and help you actually see and feel it to its full effect.
A graduate in American Anthropology, Ancient History, and Art History from Madrid Complutense University, Teresa has spent her whole professional life in service of tourism and the promotion of culture. She is a certified guide to the art institutions of Madrid, from the Prado to the Thyssen-Bornemisza to the Reina Sofia museums and beyond. Teresa has worked with a range of organizations and even guided the guides with courses on Floral Painting, Colour, Beauty and the Body, and The Correspondence between Painting and other Arts.
Description of the Masterclass
Observe works from the Prado Museum like you never have before. From the moment you sign on, it is as if you have just become part of a secret society that is privy to classified art information. At times it feels as if your guide, Teresa, has traveled in time to observe the artists’ process and has just come back to tell you their secrets.
As one of the most sought after art guides in Madrid, Teresa will take you through the Prado museum not only to see its highlights, but also to give you their historical and cultural context, and their juicy personal details. Masterpieces on the VIP list by El Greco, Rubens, Raphael, Da Vinci, Titian, and Goya. Then, you will dive into the depths of two paintings, The Garden of Earthly Delights by Bosch and Las Meninas by Velazquez, two of the most emblematic paintings of the Prado.
Teresa will show you pictures of their details, analyzed using x-ray methods, reflectography, and infra-red technology, giving you an in-depth analysis of these works, something that a walking tour simply cannot provide. Whether you are a novice or a long time art lover, this inspirational private, virtual experience will have you savoring its beauty well after the tour is over.
