Looking for someone to explain
They are the ones that explain what we see, the ones that help us understand art in its historical context, the ones that bring us closer to the day-to-day life of the authors who created the works. The cartouches in an art gallery enrich the experience and the Prado Museum wants you, a lover of painting, to contribute with your creativity and knowledge to the writing of five of them. Do you have a conservative soul?
open gusset is the contest that, within the framework of the celebration of its bicentennial, the museum launches to search for five explanatory texts for as many of his most famous works: The executions, by Goya; Juana la Loca, from Pradilla; Portrait of Queen Anne of Austria, by Sofonisba Anguissola; The Descent, by Van der Weyden; and Self-Portrait, by Dürer.
To participate you just have to access the Prado Museum website, download the poster of the work you want, complete it with a text of a maximum of 400 characters and send the document as a PDF to [email protected] until March 15.
The proposals will be published on the museum's website and the Education Area will choose the five winners taking into account the personal point of view that the writings contribute, the alternative stories that they propose and the originality.
