Prado and Rijksmuseum art history partnership
Overview
The Museo del Prado and the Rijksmuseum have established a strategic partnership to examine the role of women in art history, specifically within the context of the shared Habsburg heritage between Spain and the Netherlands.
The collaboration focuses on the concept of “matronage,” a term used by curators to describe women who exercised political power and shaped cultural history as promoters, collectors, and financiers of art. This research highlights female regents such as Margaret of Austria, Mary of Hungary, and Margaret of Parma, who governed the Netherlands for nearly 60 years.
The initiative includes an international research fellowship launching in September 2027, providing scholars access to both institutions' archives. The partnership is expected to culminate in a major exhibition at the Rijksmuseum in 2029.
