Das Geheimnis von Velázquez
Here is the English translation:
⸻
Who was Diego Velázquez? As court painter to the King of Spain, he created Las Meninas, one of the most important paintings in art history. In addition to portraits of the royal family and the pope, he also turned his gaze toward ordinary people and left behind a body of work comprising more than 200 paintings. Yet many aspects of his life and work remain unclear. His extraordinary mastery of light and shadow gives his baroque portraits a subtle, vivid depth — a stylistic device that would not gain broad recognition until a century later with Impressionism. How did he manage to give his figures this unmistakable realism?
