Decoding the Prado:
Myth, Meaning, and Archetypal Psychology
Decoding the Prado invites you to move beyond dates and names to see the great masterpieces of Bosch, Goya, Velázquez, El Greco, Titian, Rubens and more as powerful reflections of the human soul.
This is not a historical survey; it is an Archetypal Exploration. Guided by principles of Jungian psychology, we explore how these profound works open a window into the collective unconscious, where myth, dream, and timeless imagery reveal the core patterns of our inner life.
Discover the Inner Self: Explore themes like the Shadow, the Anima/Animus, and the Hero’s Journey as expressed in world-famous art.
Decoding Timeless Patterns: We look closely at how universal forms and symbols reappear across the centuries in the Prado's collection.
A Unique Encounter: See art not only with your eyes but with your heart, mind, and soul—a profound way of meeting the great masters through their symbols.
