Exhibition of paintings from El Prado (Madrid) in Lisbon, Portugal

The Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, (National Ancient Art Museum), in Lisbon, Portugal is hosting an exhibition of 57 pieces of Art on loan from the world-famous "El Prado" museum in Madrid, Spain.

The exhibition which runs through 30th March, 2014, comprises 57 works under the title,

"RUBENS, BRUEGHEL, LORRAIN. THE NORDIC LANDSCAPE OF PRADO MUSEUM"

This is something really special for Lisbon.

I have been to El Prado, in Madrid, twice in recent years, including in February this year, when we had the honour of being guided round privately by one of El Prado's long time art restorers!

The "Boda Campestre" (below) by Bruegel the Elder , one of the works in display, is wonderful.

This is really something to see and is a wonderful addition to any visit to Lisbon during the next three months.
