If you've never been to the Prado Museum in Madrid, you're blissfully unaware of all you've been missing. One look at this exquisite catalogue of the collection and you'll be scouring the papers for cheap fares to Spain. Known for housing some of the finest works by Goya, El Greco, and Velázquez, the museum's scope and variety of work--Titian, Rubens, Bosch, Bruegel, and Poussin, among others--are truly amazing. Clear, informative essays by scholars of European art accompany sections covering the museum's collections of Spanish, Italian, Flemish, Dutch, German, French, and English paintings. Each of the 861 color plates in this airy, elegant book jumps off the page and begs to be more closely examined. Most of the museum's works were either commissioned by the Spanish court or purchased by Spanish ambassadors, and the collection is a testament to their fine taste and vision.
