The Secret Life of Paintings A different kind of tour of the Prado Museum
Paintings hide messages that may go unnoticed, but often tell fascinating stories.
Behind seemingly insignificant details lie epics that changed the world, such as the tiny peppercorns in a still life, the small pendant with a golden ram in a portrait or the pigment that lends its colour to a canvas.
Or they contain clues that refer to the most fearsome spy network, the passwords of Protestant marketing or the image and propaganda cabinet of the Hispanic monarchy, with scriptwriters like Calderón de la Barca and creatives like Velázquez.
Agustín Sánchez Vidal takes us from one subject to another and relates them to our daily lives and the present, from the orange colour of carrots in a still life to Bugs Bunny, Freud and advertising; from King Midas to the current value of gold; from Bosch to the black paintings of Goya or from the Immaculate Conception to a European Union divided between the hard-working countries of the North and the lazy ones of the South.
All this and much more is hidden in the paintings of the Prado Museum, which tell the story of Spain and its links with Europe.
