While in Madrid we visited the Prado art museum. It houses many famous works by Goya and others. The museum itself is beautiful. In many of the rooms, there are marble "baseboards" and marble frames around the doors. In the newer parts of the museum, the marble was lighter. One of the works we saw was Velasquez’ 'Las Meninas'. This was particularly interesting to see because while we were in Barcelona in January we viewed several works by Pablo Picasso's reinterpretation and study of this painting. We got the feeling that if we could just travel all of Europe eventually everything would tie together.
