New Collection
Volume and colour have gone hand in hand for millennia. When polychromed, sculptures gained a more lifelike and vivacious appearance, becoming effective instruments of persuasion. Devotional sculpture was more effective as a means of communication when it was merged with colour. Sculptors and painters worked together to create pieces in which both arts were perfectly combined.
Discover the catalogue and the range of products we have in Tienda Prado inspired by this new exhibition: Hand in Hand. Sculpture and Colour in the Spanish Golden Age.
The catalogue illustrates the search for realism in Spanish Renaissance and Baroque art in everything that affected the envelope of the figure, and shows the natural integration of painting in sculpture.
THANK YOU for collaborating with the Museo del Prado.
