A beautifully produced volume with exceptional photographic quality that highlights the Prado’s artistic treasures.
The Prado presents a visually stunning survey of one of the world’s most celebrated art museums. Filled with specially photographed high-gloss images, the book showcases masterpieces spanning centuries, from Renaissance to modern art, offering both art lovers and scholars a rich visual and historical exploration of the Prado’s collections.
From the publisher: “The Prado contains the most important collection of Spanish masters to be found anywhere in the world, as well as impressive collections of works by other European mas-ters. Nowhere else can one find so many works by El Greco, Velázquez, Zurbarán, Murillo and Goya. The great strength of the museum is that it has also amassed extensive collections of other European artists. The works of Hieronymus Bosch are unsurpassed in any other gallery, the Titian collection is vast and Rubens' development is particularly well-represented.
"This is a completely revised and updated edition of the ever-popular title, first published over 10 years ago.
"It celebrates the opening of the Eighteenth-Century Galleries, following the museum's programme of restora-tion, renovation and conservation. It includes new colour illustrations and commentaries on paintings now hanging in these galleries. Many works can therefore be viewed for the first time. Reproduced here in colour are the recently restored and cleaned works, together with new attributions.
"Many of the 400 colour plates in this book have been specially photographed. There are also many extended captions, which the authors have written for those works of particular interest.”
Condition: Excellent. Clean pages, tight binding, high-gloss images intact.
