Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum in Madrid...

Last week Graham, Jonathan and I went for a butcher's around the Thyssen art museum in Madrid.

The Proust exhibition was full so we contented ourselves with the Permanent Collection - which was huge.

Van Eyck, Ghirlandaio, Holbein, Carpaccio, Dürer, Titian, Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Hals, Canaletto, Courbet, Manet, Monet, Pissarro, Degas, Morisot, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Matisse, Picasso, Kirchner, Kandinsky, Mondrian, Miró, Dalí, Hopper, O’Keeffe, Pollock, Lichtenstein, and Bacon to name but a few.

Almost 1000 paintings, spanning the history of art from the 13th right up until the 20th century.

The time just flew by.
