The filmmaker Tim Burton is in Spain this week as part of the opening of a new exhibition based on his particular creative universe, called ‘Tim Burton: Labyrinth’. The American director, who has stayed in the city of Madrid, has gone through some television sets to show his more personal and extroverted side, he has also received a Real Madrid shirt during his visit to the Santiago Bernabéu stadium and, in addition, , did not want to miss the opportunity to enjoy the many works of art that are in the Prado Museum.
In the Madrid art gallery, the artist has not hesitated to allow himself to be recorded by the cameras in front of his favorite work, which he has been able to admire for the first time with his own eyes. This is the triptych ‘The Garden of Earthly Delights’, one of the most representative paintings of the early Renaissance, signed by Bosch. “This is my favorite painting in the whole world. It has always inspired me and seeing it has made me very happy, ”says the Californian filmmaker in the aforementioned video.
In one of the publications that, from that special moment, circulate on social networks, the Oscar winner Penélope Cruz has made an appearance with a comment full of enthusiasm. And it is that the Madrid woman fully agrees with Tim Burton in the impression that this masterpiece of Dutch painting has left on her. “And mine!”, She has written next to two red hearts on the Instagram profile of Fotogramas magazine.
That Penélope has spoken about her favorite work with such spontaneity has not gone unnoticed by the ‘community managers’ of the Prado Museum itself. Taking advantage of the situation with cunning, they have proposed to the Madrilenian that she stop by the facilities one day to chat at length about her favorite paintings. “Do you dare to come and tell us what works of the museum you like?”, they have directed him.
