Diego Velázquez

Spanish, 1599–1660

Diego Velázquez (1599–1660) è stato un pittore spagnolo del Barocco e una figura di spicco durante il Secolo d'Oro spagnolo. Nato a Siviglia, fu apprendista di Francisco Pacheco e in seguito sposò la figlia del suo maestro. Velázquez dipinse ritratti della famiglia reale spagnola e di comuni cittadini, oltre a scene di importanza storica e culturale, con il suo stile che evolse da un tenebrismo preciso a una pennellata più sciolta e espressiva. La maggior parte delle sue opere divenne parte della collezione reale spagnola, con il gruppo più grande ora al Museo del Prado di Madrid.
