A New Luis Paret for the Prado

Un nouveau Luis Paret pour le Prado

The Museo del Prado in Madrid has expanded its 18th-century Spanish collection with the acquisition of a painting by Luis Paret y Alcázar titled 'María and Ludovica, the Painter’s Daughters'. The oil-on-copper work, dated 1783, depicts the artist's young daughters in a style reminiscent of nymphs. This acquisition was made possible through the significant bequest of Juan José Luna, which also recently funded the purchase of works by François Boucher.
