Live video (available in Spanish) for
the Prado’s
Instagram and Facebook accounts.
Robert Campin
takes the representation of plants to the level of a scientific botanical illustrator. Also, he adds botany to really exciting little details. In this video you will discover a wonderful connection between the panels of a dismembered triptych: its doors are still connected thanks to a flower. The paintings that appear are two of his masterpieces:
Saint Barbara
and
Saint John the Baptist and the Franciscan Heinrich von Werl.
