my version
Velásquez, contemporary of Rubens and Rembrandt, is an undisputable master of () realism and one of the greatest painters to have existed. This wonderful baroque and impressionist genius dominated all aspects of paint.
In an exceptional way, he interpreted the court of Felipe IV, in portraits of kings, princes, ministers, beautiful ladies, dwarf buffoons and deformed people. He handed down to us the most impressive human document of an era.
He painted his friends and himself with amazing truthfulness. The portrait that he did of () Pope Innocent cannot be compared to anything else in the world. Religious paintings, genre paintings and impressionist landscapes complete the vast panorama of his production.
Holder of all the secrets of his art, he knew how to express himself with () maximum liberty and his style gradually grew in audacity, space and richness. His technique has never been bettered and his work “ Las Meninas” is considered to be one of the greatest in the world.
