Book Description
Acclaimed for its blending of realism with atmosphere and for its deeply sensitive appreciation of character, the work of Velázquez (1599-1660) represents the undeniable pinnacle of the golden age of Spanish painting. His empathetic studies of the great and the grotesque remain seminal works, all surveyed in this richly illustrated Spanish-language entry in the Basic Art series that also shows his enormous influence on later artists including Picasso and Francis Bacon.
