The Prado Museum is inexhaustible. Everything has been said about him. Azaña said that it was more important to Spain than the Monarchy and the Republic together, and many others have repeated over and over again that it is the best museum of ancient painting in the world. One of its directors needed more, saying that it was not the most extensive but the most intense, and it is probably true.

The Prado is not exhausted in one tour, not in two, not in three, not in a lifetime. That is why we will occasionally propose “walks” through its collections (we will also go to other fantastic museums, large and small) where we will discover the secrets that works of art keep. Subjective walks, of course, as subjective is the collection, which for centuries was based on the tastes of kings (a great taste in many cases). In them we will include well-known works and others that, without being so, are a wonderful surprise, and little by little we will discover how to look at them so that they begin to speak to us and tell us their stories.

In this first foray we go to the Renaissance, from Flanders to Italy and with a stop in Germany and of course in Spain. Ten extraordinary masterpieces that any great museum in the world would like to have. 10 works out of 10!
