Question please help me!

i want someone to correct this translation, please

Velásquez
(1599-1660)

Velásquez, contemporáneo de Rembrandt y Rubens, es un indiscutible maestro del realismo y uno de los pintores más grandes que han existido. Este portentoso genio barroco e impresionista, dominó todos los aspectos de la pintura.

de manera excepcional, interpretó la corte de Felipe IV, en los retratos de reyes, infantes, ministros, hermosas damas, bufones enanos y deformes, nos legó el documento humano más impresionante de una época.

se pintó a sí mismo y a sus amigos con asombrosa veracidad. El retrato que hizo del papa Inocencio no tiene parangón en el mundo. Pinturas religiosas, cuadros de género y paisajes impresionistas, completan el vasto panorama de su producción.

poseedor de todos los secretos de su arte, supo expresarse con la máxima libertad y su estilo fue ganando de manera gradual audacia, amplitud y riqueza. Su técnica no ha sido superada y su cuaddro "las meninas" se considera como uno de los mejores del mundo.


Velásquez
(1599-1660)

Velásquez, Rubens and Rembrandt’s contemporary, is an undisputable master of the realism and one of the greatest painters who have existed. This wonderful baroque and impressionism genius dominated all the aspects in paint.

In an exceptional form, he interpreted the court of Felipe IV, in portraits of kings, princes, ministers, beautiful ladies, dwarf buffoons and deformed people. He handed us down the most impressive human document of one age.

He painted his friends and himself with amazing truthfulness. The portrait that he made of the pope Innocence does not have comparison in this world. Religious paintings, genre paintings and impressionist landscapes complete the vast panorama of its production.

Holder of all the secrets of his art, he knew how to express himself with the maximum liberty and his style were winning gradually audacity, space and richness. his technique do no have been exceeded and his work “ Las Meninas” is considered as one of the greatest of the world.

thanks

first: I don't speak any Spanish, [it's close enough to French so I understand most of it], so: I mostly correct the style, not so much the content:


all the aspects in paint
even if you change to "all the aspects of Painting", you may not be getting the right meaning.
What you say here is: he was good as using a brush, as chosing colors, ... a lot of technical things.
"aspectos": do you really mean to say that? or more like: "he dominated the world of Painting" ?
either way: "in paint" is not good

He handed us down the most impressive human document of one age.
"handed us down" is correct, but sounds a bit clumsy. handed down to us would be better


Even better:
he left us [or endow us with] the most impressive documentation of an epoch [or: an era]

truthfulness better use "veracity"


pope Innocence Pope Innocent

does not have comparison in this world. is without equal [or comparison] in the world

Holder of all the secrets in possession of ...
libertad = liberty [in this case]

his style were was

do no have been exceeded has not been surpassed

is considered as one of the greatest of the world.

is considered to be one
or: regarded as one
of the greatest in the world.
or: one of the world's greatest masterpieces.
