Visitors can enjoy the exhibition The artist's universe through the camera, which examines the impact of photography on the representation of artistic identity since the 19th century, and the exhibition The year of hunger in Madrid by José Aparicio, inaugurating the format One work, one story.

The exhibition The artist's universe through the camera is part of the “Open storage” space in Room 60, dedicated to 19th-century collections. This area has previously hosted monographs on artists such as Aureliano de Beruete, Federico and José de Madrazo, and Joaquín Sorolla, as well as exploring techniques like watercolor and Japanese prints.

The advent of photography allowed artists to capture scenes with great precision, documenting their studios and creative processes. The exhibition in Room 66, The year of hunger in Madrid, analyzes the work by José Aparicio, which was a powerful metaphor for 19th-century Spain and is now largely unknown to the general public.

The Prado invites reflection on the evolution of art, criticism, propaganda, and the role of museums through this work by José Aparicio, a 315 x 437 cm canvas that once overshadowed figures like Francisco de Goya and José de Madrazo.

The rooms of the Villanueva building will offer a journey through masterpieces from the Romanesque and Gothic periods to the 19th century, including pieces by El Bosco, Van der Weyden, Sofonisba Anguissola, Fra Angelico, Patinir, Madrazo, Angelica Kauffmann, Aurelia Navarro, María Roësset, Fortuny, and Goya.

Additionally, visitors can enjoy the Café Prado and the Museum shop until 10:30 PM, where exclusive Prado collections and publications are available.
