Book Description
Archer M. Huntington (1870-1955), son of one of the wealthiest men in America, decided that his passion for Spain had to be reflected by creating a museum and a library that would make his knowledge of Spanish art and culture available to his compatriots and that is how he founded in 1904 The Hispanic Society of America in New York. A section of more than two hundred of these treasures is being presented at important museums, such as the Museo del Prado (Madrid), el Palacio de Bellas Artes (Mexico City), and the Albuquerque, Cincinnati and Houston museums in the United States.

The Sala Reservada and the Nude in the Prado Museum
Author: Javier Portús Pérez
Publisher: Turner
ISBN:
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
The nude is arguably one of the most artistically and morally significant genres of Western art, as well as one of the most controversial, at least in the present day and age. The Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain, with one of the greatest and most extensive collections of paintings in the world, assembled over the extended course of Spanish royal collecting, is the repository for a stellar, unique group of nudes created in early modern Europe. Masterworks from the 16th century to the 19th, by Drer, Titian, Rubens, and Goya, among others, once viewed only in the intimate settings of private residences, and later hung in the Sala Reservada of the Prado (from 1827 to 1838, marking a singular episode in the history of the museum), are here brought together once again, in close dialogue. Based on research carried out by Javier Ports Parez, a curator at the Prado, The Sala Reservada and the Nude in the Prado Museum marks an opportunity to reflect on the historical development of the museum's collections while also allowing the reader the sumptuous pleasure of gazing on some of the most intimate, sensual, exploratory, erotic, and art-historically significant paintings of the Western world.
