Madrid is a renowned world centre of art and a newly curated art collection at Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid takes ‘hotel art’ to the next level and befits this Mandarin Oriental property’s enviable location in the city’s so-called Golden Triangle of leading art museums (the Museo del Prado, Museo Thyssen- Bornemisza and Museo Reina Sofía). In Pictura, direct reference is made, through photographic portraiture, to baroque painting, the Prado Museum and, especially, Spanish art. All the portrayed characters are artists from different disciplines (painting, sculpture, cinema, architecture, literature, photography, music, dance) that make up current Spanish culture.
