Marianna of Austria, Elisabeth of Bourbon, Christina of Sweden, all of them remarkable women who played very important roles in the history of their countries, and also in the history of art.

"The female perspective" is an exhibition route which aims to shed some light on the role of women in the collection of the Prado Museum and particularly women art patrons. This year, on their second edition, they focus on artworks from the 17th century, from the times of Elizabeth of Bourbon to Maria Anna of Neuburg. The route is divided in four sections: Women patrons of art in the Museo del Prado, Marianna of Austria, Elisabeth of Bourbon and Christina of Sweden. Curator Noelia Garcia walked us around the exhibition and told us about the most important pieces they commissioned.
