MADRID.- Visitors of the The Prado are able to contemplate the sculptural group Nero and Seneca (Eduardo Barrón, 1904) in room 74 and admire the result of the study and restoration process undertaken on the piece by the restoration department in coordination with the sculpture department of the Museum. Eduardo Barrón’s plaster and partly polychromed sculptural group of Nero and Seneca won the gold medal at the National Fine Arts Exhibition in 1904.
