Diego Velazquez
He was born in Sevilla in 1599 and he died in 1660
He was a very important artist in Spain. Velázquez went to Madrid in the first half of April 1622. He was the favorite artist of King Philip IV. With this king he started doing his best paintings. He traveled to Italy twice.
In the nineteenth century, Velázquez's artwork was a model for the realist and impressionist painters, in particular Edouard Manet. Since that time, more modern artists have paid tribute to Velázquez by recreating several of his most famous works.
The title of this picture is Las Meninas. It’s a nice picture about the king, the quuen and his daughters.
