Velazquez paintings

Anyone with even a basic knowledge of art history must have encountered the work of Diego Velazquez. This artist is one of the most prominent Spanish representatives of the Baroque. He gained his fame, thanks to his position as court painter to King Philip IV. At the beginning of his career, Velazquez studied in Italy the works of such prominent painters Titian and Tintiretti. The artist received a title of nobility after several years at the royal court. Velazquez mainly created portraits, but also often took on religious, mythological subjects and even genre scenes. The influence of the true chiaroscuro master Caravaggio can be recognized in Diego's work. Diego Velazquez's paintings captivate with their realism, which is combined with a certain artistic illusion. Subtle play with composition is one of Velazquez's differentiators. This Spanish artist was not only involved in painting. He was also passionate about architecture, and this is probably where his playfulness with surfaces came from.
