Spain has been home and inspiration to some of the greatest painters of all time (Velazquez, Goya, Murillo, El Greco, Picasso, Dali, etc.). In Madridīs famous Prado Museum and Reina Sofia Museum of Modern Art, you will see the masterieces of not only these geniuses but also many others, both Spanish and international. The Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum situated near the Prado, houses one of the worldīs largest private collections (800 works) with emphasis on the Flemish School and the Impressionists. Barcelona is closely associated with such painters as Picasso and Miro, who each have their own museum in the city. Add to this, the Contemporary Art Museum and the architectural creations of Gaudi, and you truly have an art loverīs paradise. From the Guggenheim in Bilbao, to Gaudiīs Sagrada Familia and Guell Park in Barcelona, to the Prado, Thyssen, Reina Sofia and the Neoclassical Royal Palace in Madrid, there is a plethora of delights offered that will satisfy even the most demanding lover of art. Of course, art is not just found in museums and any art-oriented tour would not be complete without visits to Spainīs many splendid cathedrals, romanesque churches, renaissance palaces and modernist buildings. |
