John Singer Sargent (1856-1925), the successful American portraitist, was actually born in Europe, and, Spain can claim to have had a share in his artistic training. Indeed, Sargent was particularly fond of Madrid, a city he visited at least five times from 1879 until 1912. It will be fun to live a typical Sargent day in Madrid.
Spend a whole day at the Prado Museum, Madrid’s main cultural landmark, with your own private guide, an art historian who will make of this guided visit a true in-museum art lecture.
For you, Madrid-born citizen in love with the city, and for you, long-time foreign resident who has learnt to love it and want more... this Madrid Original® "Madrid for Madrilenians" is the program for you!
For you, just-landed foreign residents who do not know yet what you will see in Madrid during a year, and for you long-time residents (even "Madrileños") who haven't had yet the opportunity to visit the city as you do abroad when you are on vacation... this Madrid Original ® "Madrid for beginners" is the program for you!
Madrid Original ® suggests a 1,5 hours walked guided tour through Bourbons Madrid (1700-1833) across the Paseo del Prado. From the Puerta de Alcalá to the Saint Charles Hospital, most Bourbons monuments in the area will be examined, including the architecture of the Prado Museum. We will understand how the entire promenade was a consistent project, typical of the Age of Enlightenment, combining leisure and science.
A guided visit to your favourite artist at the Prado Museum might be something you will never forget. Bosch, Raphael, Titian, Rubens and the Spanish masters are splendidly and widely enough represented in our museum as to make you re(discover) them!
