The Prado Notebook: Ximena Maier and Her Two-Decade Love Affair with Spain’s Most Iconic Museum

For Ximena Maier, the Museo del Prado is much more than a museum — it’s a personal universe she has explored for years.

In The Prado Notebook, the author takes us on an intimate, detail-rich journey through its galleries, searching for motifs as varied as hats, dogs, hands, or fascinating characters.

A work that captures the essence of her visits — those fleeting glances and encounters with her favorite paintings that turn art into a vivid and deeply personal experience.
