Un paseo botánico por el Prado – Madrid (Spain)
A Botanical Stroll through the Prado
This thematic route offers an approach to the Museum’s permanent collection through a selection of works on display. Devised by Eduardo Barba Gómez, gardener and researcher into art and botany, it reveals how the latter subject plays a significant role in the stories.
The thematic route encompasses a broad chronological span, from Roman sculpture to the early 18th century, in order to reveal how the depiction of flowers and plants in paintings can refer to mythological, religious, aristocratic or popular symbols in order to imbue the scene with qualities intrinsic to them.
