Acclaimed for its blending of realism with atmosphere and for its deeply sensitive appreciation of character, the work of Velazquez (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 study that also shows his enormous influence on later artists including Picasso and Francis Bacon.
