Madrid, Mar 22 (EFE). (Camera: Raúl García) .- In 2016, the Prado Museum received the surprise that an ordinary citizen, Carmen Sánchez, a teacher and art lover, donated all her assets in order to buy paintings. Fifteen acquisitions are the result of that unexpected generosity, all the works cover historical gaps and also add two new women artists to their payroll.FOOTAGE OF THE NEW WORKS AT THE PRADO MUSEUM IN MADRID
Madrid, Oct 5 (EFE). (Camera: Ramón Ayala) .- Madrid's Prado Museum and the AXA Foundation present on Monday its first temporary exhibition after reopening to the public on June 6,'Uninvited Guests. Episodes on Women, Ideology and the Visual Arts in Spain'. Women have often been depicted in art as objects of desire or saints while female artists were pushed aside. An exhibition at Madrid’s Prado Museum aims to start redressing this historic imbalance.FOOTAGE OF THE EXHIBITION.SOUNDBITES OF MIGUEL FALOMIR, DIRECTOR OF THE PRADO MUSEUM.Trandlation:"If I had to classify it, I'd say it's a necessary exhibition, necessary because it's a topic that needed to be discussed. Necessary as well because it has meant a great effort for the Prado because most of the pieces on display are ours, 40 of them have been restored specifically for the occasion. We have studied a lot, we have done a great amount of research and I think that is something that people will see."
