Comprehensively showcasing the permanent collection of the Prado, this magnificent book is the first of its kind to be published by the Prado Museum, covering the collection from Ancient Sculpture to the 19th century. The book is arranged chronologically by the date of the artworks featured, creating a rich dialogue between artists from different schools working in the same period.

The Prado Masterpieces can be read as a complete history of art, as illustrated by the careful selection of highlights from the Prado’s Collection.
