Museo de Prado – Madrid

by WBlackwell on May 3, 2018

Let me begin by saying this museum is fabulous but they don’t allow photos inside so I took copious notes (& a few Pics) and then downloaded the pictures shown from the internet.

Francisco Goya stands in front of the main entrance.

And this detail is simple gross

But this street performer cracked me up.  After the donation we chatted for a bit, his English was very good, but it was a wee bit surreal considering all I could see was his face.  It must get pretty uncomfortable for many of these performers in inclement or hot weather

Remembering that I had to write down the artist & title then go online to look it up and download, don’t be disappointed if some photos have no cations, now let’s go inside:

I’ll start with The Defense os Zaragoza by Antonio Canova

The Temptation of St Anthony Abbot by Patinir

The Wine of St Martins Day by Pieter Bruegel the Elder.

The Crucifixion by Juan de Flandes

Mona Lisa is a replica of the original done at DaVinci’s School

??

Charles V & Fury byLeone Leoni

 

These downloads are The Story of Nastagio degli Onesti by Botticelli.  The violence was what made me select them

 

Venus by Bandinelli

Sleeping Hermaphrodite by Bonuccelli

 

The Three Graces by Rubens

The Punishment of Thythus by Titian

The Martyrdom of St Phillip

Forge of Vulcan – Diego Velasquez

 

The Garden of Earthly Delights – Hieronymus Bosch This one is amazing in person

From Goya we have Stilts

“The Execution of Torrijos and his companions at Malaga Beach”- Antonio Gisbert

The dignity of the men drew me in

Daughters of El Cid – Dioscoro Puebla

St Elizabeth of Hungary – Vallmitjana
