Sinopsis
In the two previous editions (2022 and 2024), "The Prado in Feminine" explored the collecting activities of women from the late Middle Ages to 1700, beginning with Isabella I of Castile and focusing particularly on the Habsburgs, among whom we found leading figures such as Mary of Hungary and Isabella Clara Eugenia. With this third edition, we inaugurate a new century, the 18th, and a new dynasty, the Bourbons, and concentrate on Queen Isabella Farnese (Parma, 1692–Aranjuez, 1766), the second wife of Philip V. Without her, the Prado Museum would be very different from what we know today, given the quantity and variety of masterpieces that bear her mark (the Farnese fleur-de-lis) in its galleries, a testament to her sophistication but also to her independence from the collecting interests of her royal husband.
