A new exhibit at Spain's Prado explores how misogyny influenced the way women were portrayed in art and the role that the museum itself played.

Two works by Spanish painter Pedro Saenz Saenz, his 1897"Chrysalid", and"Innocence" completed two years later, both depict a naked, prepubescent girl in a suggestive pose.

The second half of the exhibition features works by women from that era, who were marginalized because of their gender. A visitor walks by the painting "Last Dream of a Virgin" by Manuel Villegas Brieva during the exhibition 'Uninvited Guests. Episodes on Women, Ideology and the Visual Arts in Spain ' at El Prado museum in Madrid on October 23, 2020.

And of the 130 works in the exhibition, 70 are signed by men, prompting complaints from some feminist groups that it does not dedicate enough space to works by women.
