About this title

Synopsis

Book published on the occasion of the itinerary A Botanical Stroll Through the Prado, held at the Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid, from 28 October 2024 to 30 March 2025.

This volume focuses on thirty botanical species represented in as many works in the Museo del Prado: outstanding paintings and sculptures from the permanent collection, such as Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights, Van der Weyden's The Descent from the Cross and Fra Angelico's The Annunciation. Each of the thirty plants is accompanied by a commentary by Eduardo Barba and a botanical illustration by Juan Luis Castillo, as well as a complete detailed reproduction of the work in the Museum.
