Madrid in the Prado
An exciting book that explores the relationship between the Villa y Corte and the Prado Museum.
Madrid is many cities at once. The one that was and the one that is. The one that disappeared and the one we still recognise when we look at it carefully. The Prado Museum holds all of them. This book invites us to find them again.
Madrid and the Prado Museum have maintained an intimate, profound and sometimes invisible relationship for centuries. This book proposes to discover it through an exciting journey through the city and the museum's rooms, where paintings, buildings and historical episodes dialogue with each other like pieces of the same story.
From palaces that have disappeared and demolished convents to cafés, promenades and inns that are now forgotten, the reader will travel through a Madrid that no longer exists, but which is still alive in the works of the Prado. Each chapter is a stroll - a garbeo - in which the works conserved in the Prado Museum, which become the guiding thread for a walk through the town and the discovery of characters from Madrid such as the painters Rosario Weiss and Teresa Nicolau; historical events such as the Mutiny of Esquilache or the Auto de Fe held in the Plaza Mayor in 1680; buildings of the disappeared Madrid and the works that once inhabited them; and episodes experienced in the museum itself, such as the cyclone that devastated the city in 1886 or the fake fire invented by a journalist at the end of the 19th century.
Told in a familiar voice, full of profound knowledge and genuine affection for the city, Sonia Taravilla invites us to look at Madrid with different eyes and to return to the Prado as if we were returning home. Because in her works are not only the great masters but also the Madrileños we were and those we continue to be.
A book for those who love Madrid, for those who walk through it every day and for those who know that a city is also built with memories.
