Description
A comprehensive introduction to VelA¡zquezâ?Ts life and art which includes a discussion of all his major works. Diego VelA¡zquez (1599â?"1660) was one of the towering figures of western painting and Baroque art, a technical master renowned for his focus on realism and startling veracity. Everything he painted was â?~treatedâ?T as a portrait, from Spanish royalty and Pope Innocent X, to a mortar and pestle. This comprehensive introduction to VelA¡zquezâ?Ts life and art includes a discussion of all his major works, and illustrates most of VelA¡zquezâ?Ts surviving output of approximately 110 paintings. The artistâ?Ts greatest innovation â?" his unorthodox and revolutionary technique is explored in relation to the styles of certain of his most celebrated contemporaries both in Spain and beyond, including Titian and Rubens. The book concludes with a final chapter on the influence and importance of VelA¡zquezâ?Ts art on later painters from the time of his own death to the art of recent times including Francisco Goya, Pablo Picasso, Francis Bacon and the Impressionists.
