Spain’s Prado Museum calls on public to help identify landscape in painting

SPAIN’S national art museum has called on the public to help find a place depicted in one of its paintings.

Researchers at the Prado Museum in Madrid appealed to people to help find what is featured in Cantabrian painter Agustin Riancho’s Landscape.

The appeal was picked up by Andalucia-based Palaeontology student Luis Collantes who retweeted it.
