The Spanish Masters of the Prado

Besides Goya, who painted during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, I can’t really say that I knew very many (if any) other nineteenth-century Spanish artists. In my experience, a lot of the focus when teaching about European art of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries is mainly on artists in France and England — and in some cases Germany or other countries in northern Europe. Because of this, I hadn’t heard of amazing artists like Joaquín Sorolla and Mariano Fortuny. Luckily, I’ve been introduced to their work — and the work of many other amazing Spanish artists — since being at the Prado, and I have been more than pleasantly surprised. Well, that’s putting it lightly… honestly, I’ve fallen in love. <a href="https://medium.com/my-view-from-the-prado/the-spanish-masters-of-the-prado-6354bcc73ba1">Learn More</a>
