La formación de las colecciones del Museo del Prado está íntimamente ligada a la labor de promoción artística que desarrollaron las mujeres más representativas de las casas reales europeas, desde Isabel I de Castilla a Isabel II. Sin embargo, a menudo paseamos por sus salas sin reparar en ello, sin advertir que algunas de sus obras maestras son fruto de un patronazgo en femenino. Con el proposito de narrar la historia del Museo desde un punto de vista mas amplio e inclusivo, este itinerario dirige su mirada y la nuestra hacia aquellas mujeres que comisionaron algunas de las obras de arte mas emblematicas de esta institucion, mujeres cuyas actuaciones coinciden con los años comprendidos entre el nacimiento de Isabel la Catolica (1451) y la muerte de Isabel Clara Eugenia (1633). Estas reinas, princesas, regentes y gobernadoras, que desempeñaron un papel fundamental en los principales escenarios del poder, fueron responsables, en gran medida, de la internacionalizacion de la Monarquia Hispanica.
