Must-see artworks at the Prado Museum you will discover

Great female artists at the Prado Museum
The Prado Museum is not just an art gallery: it is a visual journey through the cultural and political construction of Spain. Through its collections, you will understand the role of the monarchy, the influence of the Habsburgs and Bourbons, and the artistic evolution from the Renaissance to the 19th century. A rigorous and contextualised perspective that expands the experience beyond the most famous works. For this reason, we dedicate part of the tour to highlighting fundamental female figures who have traditionally been overlooked, such as:
Sofonisba Anguissola
Artemisia Gentileschi
Rosa Bonheur
Clara Peeters
