Day 3

Today we visited the Prado Art Musuem, which contains many of the most famous paintings by Spanish artists. The musuem itself is right next to the park that we went to the day before. One of the best paintings in the musuem was a depiction of the apostles and Jesus after the last supper, but set in Venice. What made this painting so special was that the perspective allowed the viewer, depending on where he or she stood, to see several different views. El Greco was also featured predominantly; people have speculated that one of his paintings in actually of Miguel Cervantes. The Maids, by Velazques, was also one of the highpoints of the visit.
