Summary:

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 masters. Nowhere else can one find so many works by El Greco, Velazquez, Zurbaran, Murillo and Goya. The great strength of the Prado is that it has also amassed extensive collections of other European artists. The works of Hieronymous Bosch are unsurpassed by any other gallery, the Titian collection is vast and Rubens' development is particularly well-represented. This new edition includes new color illustrations and commentaries on paintings now hanging in the Eighteenth Century Galleries, allowing many works to be viewed for the first time.
