Prado Inadvertido, El - Paperback

by Estrella de Diego (Author)

Walks through the Prado Museum. For its classics and its forgotten ones. For its history, its stories and its nooks and crannies. Following in the footsteps of the classic Three Hours at the Prado Museum by Eugenio d'Ors, Estrella de Diego offers us a new route with a 21st-century perspective. And so appear in these essential pages such as Las meninas by Velázquez read in the light of Pierre Menard by Borges, or the works of Goya; also historical paintings that today we see with different eyes and interpret with another perspective. This book moves between the essay and her personal memory and is a tribute to a museum that has accompanied the author throughout her entire life. A museum full of past and future; a living space, which is being transformed through the gazes of successive eras.
