Pennsylvania State University Press The Prado: Spanish Culture and Leisure, 1819–1939
The Prado takes an unconventional look at Spain’s most iconic art museum. Focusing on the Prado as a space of urban leisure, Eugenia Afinoguénova highlights the political history of the museum’s relation to the monarchy, the church, and the liberal nation-state, as well as its role as an extension of Madrid’s social center, the Prado Promenade.Rather than assume that visitors agreed about how to interpret the museum, Afinoguénova approaches the history of the Prado as a debate about culture and leisure. Just like those crossing the museum’s threshold, who did not always trace a firm line between what they could see or do inside the building and outside on the Paseo del Prado, the participants in this debate—journalists, politicians, museum directors, art critics—considered museum-going to be part of a broader discussion concerning citizenship and voting rights, the rise of Madrid to the status of a modern capital, and the growing gap between town and country.Based on extensive archival research on the museum’s displays and policies as well as the attitudes of visitors and city-dwellers, The Prado unfolds the museum’s many political and propagandistic roles and examines its complicated history as a monument to the tension between culture and leisure. Art historians and scholars of museum studies and visual and leisure culture will find this foundational study of the Prado invaluable.

Ediciones Cátedra El Prado la cultura y el ocio 18191939
Los orígenes y el desarrollo del Museo del Prado son inseparables de los debates sobre el destino del Estado liberal en España, de la evolución de las ideas museísticas en Europa y de la amalgama de experiencias que ofrecía el paseo del Prado.Sin asumir que sus visitantes hubieran llegado a estar de acuerdo alguna vez en cómo interpretar el museo, este libro aborda su historia como la de un debate público a muchas voces. Al igual que aquellos visitantes que cruzaban el umbral del museo y no siempre trazaban una línea clara entre lo que podían ver o hacer dentro y fuera del edificio, en el paseo del Prado y en sus alrededores, los participantes en este debate consideraban la visita al museo como un pasatiempo íntimamente conectado con otras actividades públicas y, por tanto, parte de un debate más amplio sobre ciudadanía y derecho al voto, el ascenso de Madrid a la condición de capital moderna y la creciente brecha entre campo y ciudad.Siguiendo el ritmo agotador de la moderniza

Yale University Press Americans in Spain: Painting and Travel, 1820-1920
The art and culture of Spain significantly influenced many of America’s most renowned 19th- and 20th-century artists. Mary Cassatt visited the country early in her career and first garnered the attention of the French Impressionists with her paintings of Spanish themes. William Merritt Chase, fascinated with Spanish art, traveled to Madrid and its environs to paint landscapes and study at the Prado. And Robert Henri not only drew on the country’s culture and traditions as a personal muse but repeatedly brought his art students to Spain as part of their training. Featuring works by all of these artists, as well as others such as John Singer Sargent and Thomas Eakins, this handsome volume reveals the important and varied ways that Spain inspired a century of American artists.Distributed for the Milwaukee Art Museum and the Chrysler Museum of ArtExhibition Schedule:Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk, VA (February 12–May 16, 2021) Milwaukee Art Museum (June 11–October 3, 2021)
