An art exhibition in Madrid seeks to shine a spotlight on breast cancer and the physical and psychological scars left by mastectomies.

The exhibition at the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum of Art, titled “From the skin to the canvas: another take on breast cancer”, features digital copies of works by Francisco de Goya, Peter Paul Reubens and Hans Baldung Grien which have been altered to make it look like the nude subjects have undergone mastectomies.

As part of the show, Cultura en Vena filmed a video of Goya’s The Naked Maja being taken to a hospital in an ambulance, where the painting undergoes “surgery” as a team of artists paints a scar over her left breast.
