The Official Guide to the Prado, with 400 images in full colour, is a unique publication for learning about one of the largest and most important art galleries in the world. With texts by specialists on each national school of art represented in the collections this book is aimed at both the first-time visitor and those who wish to learn more about the Museum's collections. From the Romanesque to 19th century art, the Official Guide offers an enjoyable, illustrated survey of world painting and the work of the great masters such as El Greco, Velazquez, Goya, Ribera, Bosch, Rubens, Titian and many others. It also features chapters on less well-kinown aspects of the collections, such as drawing, sculpture and the decorative arts. The Official Guide is the best way to enjoy and understand the Museo del Prado.

Considerado ya como un personaje extravagante por sus contemporáneos y tachado más tarde de simple lunático por aquellos pocos que recordaban su existencia, hay que esperar hasta casi fines del siglo XIX para que se produzca una corriente de simpatía reivindicativa del valor artístico de El Greco, un pintor que hoy es, sin embargo, uno de los más conocidos y estimados de toda la historia del arte.
