Founded as a museum of [[painting]]s and [[sculpture]], the Museum also has important collections of more than 5,000 [[drawing]]s, 2,000 prints, 1,000 [[coin]]s and [[medal]]s, and almost 2,000 decorative objects and works of art. Sculpture is represented by more than 700 works and by a smaller number of sculptural fragments. The superb picture [[gallery]] consisting of 8,600 paintings is the factor which lends the Museum its world class status. The Prado undisputedly has the world's finest collections of works by Spain's [[Diego Velázquez]] and [[Francisco Goya]], as well as of [[Hieronymus Bosch]] (a personal favorite of King [[Philip II of Spain]]). The museum also has excellent collections of [[El Greco]], [[Peter Paul Rubens]], [[Raffaello Santi|Raphael]], [[Titian]], [[Bartolome Esteban Murillo]]. Fine examples of the works of [[Melozzo da Forlì]], [[Botticelli]], [[Michelangelo Merisi|Caravaggio]], [[Albrecht Dürer]], [[Rembrandt]], [[Paolo Veronese|Veronese]], and many other notable artists are on display in the Museum.
 
The most famous work on display at the Museum is ''[[Las Meninas]]'' by Velázquez. Velázquez not only provided the Prado with his own superb works, but his keen eye and sensibility was also responsible for bringing much of the museum's fine collection of [[Italy|Italian]] masters to Spain.
