TOUR DESCRIPTION CONTINUED:
We explore themes such as patronage, history of taste and fashion and artistic techniques. Together, we decipher the underlying messages and the artistic legacy from Old Masters that are contained within a selection of paintings. We decode the layers of meaning and discuss the inspiration behind some of the masterpieces in this world-class Museum.

This is a truly engaging learning experience designed and led by a fully qualified Art History university professor, Dr. Almudena Cros (BA Hons, MA, PhD Warwick University), with extensive teaching experience and specialist knowledge. Almudena has lived in Venice and Rome, so she is very familiar with Italian art and culture.  Her Master's degree was in Venetian Art, one of the strengths of the Prado collection, which includes seminal works by Titian and Tintoretto.

The Prado is our classroom, and you will thoroughly enjoy this interactive lesson. You will come out with a new appreciation for Art.
