5.0 out of 5 stars A Little Gem
Loved learning the historical background to the paintings. The stories are captivating and you walk away knowing you will look at the paintings in a whole new way. Can't wait to go back to the Prado. It is well worth the read if you want a real insight into this period of Spanish Art.
