The origins of the Museo del Prado, or Prado Museum, can be traced back to 1785, when the building in Madrid that the Prado now occupies was commissioned by King Charles III. The museum contains the most complete collections in the world of the works of El Greco, Velázquez, and Francisco de Goya, as well as of such Spanish masters as José de Ribera and Francisco de Zurbarán. It also has a rich assortment of other major European painters. These 20 paintings are just a small subset of the Prado’s vast collection.
Earlier versions of the descriptions of these paintings first appeared in 1001 Paintings You Must See Before You Die, edited by Stephen Farthing (2018). Writers’ names appear in parentheses.
In 1819 Francisco Goya bought a house west of Madrid called the Quinta del sordo (“Villa of the deaf man”). A previous owner of the house was deaf, and the name remained apt as Goya himself had lost his hearing in his mid-40s. The artist painted directly on to the plaster walls of the Quinta the series of psychologically brooding images popularly k...
Spanish painter Francisco Ribalta reached the pinnacle of his mature style with Christ Embracing St. Bernard. He transformed the Spanish Baroque in the process. A pioneer in discarding Mannerist conventions for a new type of naturalism, Valencia’s leading artist set a course for Spanish art that paved the way for masters such as Diego Velázquez, Fr...
This striking portrait by Spaniard José de Ribera shows the influence of Caravaggio on Ribera’s early career. Democritus emerges from rich, dark shadow, as dramatic spotlights—in the manner of Caravaggio—highlight certain areas. Ribera’s toothless philosopher has a wrinkled face and gaunt frame. The way he grasps papers in one hand and a compass in...
Diego Velázquez produced few religious works, but this intensely powerful image is his finest. This painting is a convincingly real study of a man’s body, but with hints of a more monumental sculptural quality that raises it to a higher plane, in keeping with the spiritual subject matter. The composition is starkly simple yet dramatic, with the con...
As court painter to King Philip IV of Spain for most of his life, Diego Velázquez’s output focused predominantly on portraits. With The Surrender of Breda, however, he created a masterpiece considered to be one of the finest historical paintings of the Spanish Baroque. This picture depicts one of the major events of the Thirty Years’ War, the Spani...
Las meninas shows Diego Velázquez late in his career and at the height of his highly impressive powers. Few works have excited more debate than Las meninas. The size and subject matter place it in the dignified tradition of portraiture familiar to Velázquez’s contemporaries. However, what, or who, is the subject? Velázquez shows himself at the ease...
Luca Giordano was perhaps the most prolific of the 17th-century great masters. He was nicknamed Luca Fa Presto (“Luca, Work Quickly”), a name thought to have derived from his father urging the boy on with financial gain in mind. Giordano’s prodigious talent was discovered at a young age, and he was subsequently sent to study first with José de Ribe...
It is likely that Francisco Goya painted the famously controversial Maja desnuda (The Naked Maja) for Manuel Godoy, nobleman and prime minister of Spain. Godoy owned a number of paintings of the female nude, and he hung them in a private cabinet dedicated to this theme. The Naked Maja would have seemed daring and pornographic displayed alongside wo...
In 1799 Francisco Goya was made First Court Painter to Charles IV of Spain. The king requested a family portrait, and in the summer of 1800 the artist prepared a series of oil sketches for the formal arrangement of the various sitters. The final result has been described as Goya’s greatest portrait. In this painting, the family members wear sparkli...
Among his surviving pictures of the period are two paintings of the Purification of the Temple (Minneapolis Inst. of Arts, and NG, Washington), a favourite theme with him, and a portrait of Clovio (Mus. di Capodimonte, Naples).

Philip Guston thought hard about the artist's responsibility to bear witness to ‘the brutality of the world‘. Consistently changing and reinventing, he sought to make work that embodies life’s complexities, its beauty, absurdity, humour and suffering.
