Nobel laureate John Banville joins the Prado Museum's program to create fiction inspired by art.

Nobel Prize-winning novelist John Banville is participating in the Prado Museum's "Writing the Prado" program, which allows authors to immerse themselves in the museum and create a short work of fiction. Banville reflects on the powerful gaze of artworks, particularly Diego Velázquez's "Las Meninas," and contrasts authentic art with kitsch, asserting that true art cannot be replaced by artificial intelligence. His work will explore a character's journey through the gallery, engaging with the paintings.
