What is Art?

Definitely, not an easy question. But we might try to find an answer in the works of the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes.
The following definitions are subjective and related to what it's exhibited in the rooms. Some refer to the technique employed, others are descriptive and some are just emotional.
Through time and eras, these masterpieces represent part of the stunning collection of the MNBA. As no absolute answer can be delivered, we ask you to observe, think and discover your own definition of art.
