An understanding of Spanish art – a part of the "Golden Triangle of Art" in Madrid, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum is considered one of the most significant museums, which fills the historical gaps in its counterparts' collections. The museum houses a private collection of its founder, Baron Thyssen-Bornemisza de Kászon. The permanent collection of 1600 paintings displays predominantly European Arts from 13th to 20th century in chronological order. Almost all the big names and other well known artists are covered, besides the usual renowned renaissance French and Italian masters. Some of the highlights include 'Christ and the Samaritan Woman' by Duccio di Buoninsegna, 'Young Knight in a Landscape' by Vittore Carpaccio, ‘1586 Massacre of the Innocents’ by Lucas Van Valckenborch, 'Woman in Bath' by Roy Lichtenstein, and portraits of Antonello da Messina, and Hans Memling. The star of the museum 'Portrait of Giovanna Tornabuoni' by Florentine master Domenico Ghirlandaio is not to be missed. Impressionist works is represented by the artists Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Paul Gauguin, and Vincent van Gogh. All and all it is a must visit whether you are an art aficionado or not. A visit to The Thyssen will expand your art vocabulary.Refrain from posting comments that are obscene, defamatory or inflammatory, and do not indulge in personal attacks, name calling or inciting hatred against any community.
