Masterpieces of the Prado Museum in Madrid - Virtual Experience 

The Prado Museum is one of the most important and finest art galleries in the world: situated in the center of Madrid, Spain, has a vast collection of Italian, flemish, Spanish, and European old masters among them: Beato Angelico, Andrea Mantegna, Raffaello Sanzio, Hieronymus Bosch, Rogier van der Weyden, Bruegel il Vecchio, El Greco, Pieter Paul Rubens, Tiziano, Diego Velázquez, Francisco Goya only to name a few. The Building that hosts the  Museo del Prado was built by order of King Charles III of Spain, of the House of Bourbon, with the original intent of being the Gabinete de Historia Natural, together with a small scientific collection and a general urban reorganization called Salón del Prado. Charles III appointed for this project one of his favorite architects  Juan de Villanueva, who also created the botanic gardens.

The original project was started in 1786 da Carlo III by de Villanueva, anyway was only completed a few decades later in a different form: in 1819 the Museo Real de Pinturas was for the first time opened to the general public displaying the content of the art collection of the Crown of Spain.

During this virtual tour, we will follow the creation of the gallery as well as the development of Spanish and European painting with particular attention to the great old masters here present.
