Spanish art
Paintings from Madrid
Spanish art encompasses the visual arts produced in Spain or by Spanish artists, spanning from prehistoric cave paintings at Altamira through Islamic-influenced medieval works to the dramatic realism of the Golden Age and beyond.
The term often evokes particular figures—El Greco, Velázquez, Goya, Picasso, Dalí—and distinctive qualities: intense religious imagery, unflinching depictions of violence and suffering, bold use of light and shadow.
The museum's Spanish art collection features several Goyas.
