A Contemporary Interpretation of The Prado Museum Masterpieces

Renowned digital Photographer Lluis Barba offers us a fresh twist on The Prado Museum’s Spanish and Dutch Art from The Golden Age: The Early Nineteenth Century, with special emphasis on, Diego Velázquez, El Greco, Francisco de Goya, Hieronymus Bosch, and Pieter Brueghel. Barba is inspired by the 200-year-old Prado Museum given its position as a primary depository for Spanish art. This collection of Barba’s photographs focuses particularly on the artistic relationship the artists of the Spanish School maintained with foreign artists.

“For me, the works by the great masters at the Prado Museum have been a key issue in my inspiration.”
