Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum highlights

19th & 20th century art

Art from the 19th and 20th centuries shows you the exciting changes in art style and subject matter during this period. Paintings by Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, and Vincent Van Gogh are among the highlights. For example, Monet’s ‘Charing Cross Bridge’ shows his love for capturing light and atmosphere, while Van Gogh’s ‘Les Vessenots in Auvers’ displays his signature bold brushstrokes and bright colors.

Avant-Garde and modern art

The museum also has works from modern art movements. Pablo Picasso’s ‘Harlequin with a Mirror’ uses bold colors and geometric shapes to explore identity, while Wassily Kandinsky’s abstract ‘Picture with Three Spots’ plays with color and emotion. Salvador Dalí’s ‘Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee’ takes viewers into the world of dreams and Hopper’s ‘Hotel Room’ captures the quiet moments of modern life.

Medieval art

Step back in time to the Middle Ages! The museum features rare works from the medieval period. Highlights include ‘Christ and the Samaritan Woman’ by Duccio di Buoninsegna, which shows a biblical scene with gold accents, and ‘The Annunciation Diptych’ by Jan Van Eyck, a two-part painting of the angel Gabriel telling Mary she's going to have Jesus. It's painted in gray to look like stone.

Renaissance and Baroque art

The museum’s Renaissance and Baroque collection is full of masterpieces. Ghirlandaio’s ‘Portrait of Giovanna Tornabuoni’ shows a noblewoman in amazing detail, a perfect example of Italian Renaissance art. Carpaccio’s ‘Young Knight in a Landscape’ is all about bravery, showing a knight in a beautiful outdoor setting.
