Madrid, Spain
At Plaza Mayor
In the portico of Museo Lázaro Galdiano
“Retrato de dama” by Ludolf de Jongh at Museo Lázaro Galdiano
Museo Lazaro Galdiano is often overshadowed by the Prado, Reina Sofia and Thyssen, but it remains one of the best art museums in Madrid. It is the former home of the late Spanish financier (and a foremost patron of culture in 19th century Spain) Jose Lazaro Galdiano. The museum houses an impressive collection of old masters and romantic period painters like Goya, El Greco, and Velazquez, among others. The Neo-Renaissance architecture and location on the prestigious Calle de Serrano make it all the more worthy of a visit. museolazarogaldiano.es In front of Galería Canalejas
