My wife and I just had the good fortune to visit Madrid Spain. And, of course, I had to visit the galleries... Specifically Prado.
Wow.
To see first hand with our own eyes the works of artists such as Titian, Reubens, and Carravaggio was an awe inspiring experence. Not to mention the many sculptures and architectural wonders that were found throughout the building.
Many of the works are familiar to me from books and internet images but to see i
t in person is entirely something else.
I can just imagine the artist working away at the canvas and doing his or her best to convey a sense of feeling or emotion...
Unfortunately, no photographs or videos are allowed within the museum for obvious security reasons. In a way that probably enhances the experience. We get to see the images and remember them rather in our mind than with the assistance of technology. Kinda like how they were supposed to be viewed.
Highly recommended.
