Madrid's Museo del Prado holds 4 works by Sandro Botticelli (1445–1510) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Botticelli's great mythological paintings are among the most reproduced in art history, which makes standing in front of the originals in Florence a genuinely surprising experience. The surface is delicate and linear, the colour pale and luminous, the figures simultaneously otherworldly and physically present.

The Prado is one of the world's great art museums, with an unparalleled collection of Spanish painting — Velázquez, Goya, El Greco — alongside outstanding Italian and Flemish Old Masters. Allow a full day; the Velázquez rooms alone take two hours to do justice to.
