Ava and Beatrice are on a date in the Prado museum in Madrid.

Ava turns to look at Beatrice that is at her left side: and if we look to our left, you'll see the Mona (Moana) Lisa...

Beatrice: Isn't it mysterious?

Ava 😏😏: She will be moaning...

Beatrice: Ava, behave...

Tenemos dos cuadros con el mismo tema, y casi factura, uno se encuentra en la Catedral de Toledo, España (figura nº 1 y 2) y es obra del #Greco (Domenikos Theotokopoulos, 1541-1614), mide 285 cm de alto y 173 cm de ancho, fue realizado entre los años 1577 y 1579.

El otro (figuras 3 y 4) El Expolio del Museo del Prado, cuyo mayor interés estriba en ser la única obra firmada por el hijo del pintor, Theotocópuli, Jorge Manuel. Hay ligeras modificaciones con respecto a la original del Greco, sobre la cabeza de Cristo se ha colocado una corona de espinas; en segundo término un hombre anciano y canoso, con barba y escaso cabello de espaldas al espectador; las tres mujeres están más alargadas y superan al original, el fondo…

Malasaña and his daughter fight against the French in one of the streets leading down from the park to San Bernardo. 2 May 1808

by Eugenio Álvarez Dumont

The painting pays homage to two of the heroes who achieved the most legendary glory in the struggle of the people of Madrid against the French troops during the War of Independence. Thus, it illustrates the moment in which the guerrilla Juan Malasaña kills the French dragoon that has just murdered his daughter, the embroiderer Manuela Malasaña, who supplied her father with rifle cartridges to fight the French troops from her home, during the assault on the Monteleón park.

I think it will make everyone on Tumblr very happy to know that the Prado Museum is restoring a famous Saint Sebastian painting to give it back it's original (and even sluttier) form

Climate Activists Glue their Hands to Paintings by Francisco Goya in Spain

The protest at the Prado museum, in which both protesters each glued a hand to the frames, did not damage either painting but caused their frames slight blemishes, the museum said.

Both activists were detained after the incident on Saturday, police said.

They had scrawled “+1,5°C” on the wall between the two artworks in reference to the Paris Agreement target of capping warming at 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

In a tweet, the Prado said: “We condemn the protest that took place in the museum.

“The works have not been damaged but the frames have suffered slight blemishes. We are working to get back to normal as quickly as possible. We reject endangering cultural heritage as a means of protest.”

Climate activist group Extinction Rebellion posted a video online showing the two activists each with a hand fixed on a painting before the museum’s security officials move in.

The group said the two artworks in question were The Naked Maja and The Clothed Maja.

The action was a protest in the face of rising world temperatures which will “provoke an unstable climate with serious consequences for all the planet”, the group said in a statement in Spanish.
