Turner painted blazing sunsets and sublime scenes from his travels, while Constable often returned to depictions of a handful of beloved places, striving for freshness and authenticity in his portrayal of nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marking 250 years since their births, this landmark exhibition explores Turner and Constable&#8217;s intertwined lives and legacies.

Mu\u00f1oz\u2019s work reveals an ongoing conceptual relationship with Renaissance and Baroque painting with regard to the way in which he approached perspective, composition and staging.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curated by Vicente Todol\u00ed, former director of Tate Modern (2003-2010),&nbsp;<em>Juan Mu\u00f1oz. Stories of Art<\/em>&nbsp;brings together installations, figures, books from the artist\u2019s library, artifacts in the form of display cases filled with objects, canvases, drawings and prints. It will be presented in Rooms C and D of the Jer\u00f3nimos building and several rooms in the Villanueva building until 8 March 2026. The works on display reveal the profound connection between the artist and the great masters represented in the Prado, such as Vel\u00e1zquez and Goya, as well as with the traditions of the Renaissance, Mannerism and Baroque. In addition, further works by the artist have been allowed to leave the temporary exhibition galleries in order to be displayed more dynamically in rooms of the Permanent Collection (Room 12\/Vel\u00e1zquez and Room 28\/Rubens), in specific locations such as the South Staircase near the Murillo entrance, and in the exterior area in front of the Goya entrance. The exhibition is presented in collaboration with the City Council of Madrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition presents a journey through the work of one of the most unique sculptors in contemporary art; an artist whose practice was marked by illusionism, theatricality and architecture as a space of fiction. Influenced by Borromini, Bernini, Vel\u00e1zquez and Goya, Mu\u00f1oz created settings in which the viewer becomes an actor, witness and protagonist of scenes charged with psychological tension and mystery.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">November 18, 2025 &#8211; March 8, 2026 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exhibition: Turner &amp; Constable &#8211; Rivals &amp; Originals Two of Britain\u2019s greatest painters, J.M.W Turner\u00a0and John Constable\u00a0were also the greatest of rivals.
