Moving forward, when one thinks of a Spanish painter, one cannot help but put into mind that most of the well-known painters of Spain lived and flourished during the Golden Age. However, one artist that truly stood out and became very popular is Diego Velasquez; he is considered as a highly respected painter and the most influential person at that time Velasquez could be considered as Spain’s most well-known and revered masters who has produced many notable and admirable paintings.
In June 5, 1599 from a family of middle class in the town of Seville, Diego Velasquez was born and is the first born of six children. As early as age of eleven, Velasquez began his apprenticeship with master painter Francisco Pacheco, and by age eighteen he became a great artist as certified by the painters’ guild which permitted him to work as a professional. Over the years, Velasquez mostly painted religious scenes and sold them for profit in churches and taverns, eventually being able to buy his own house and rent out another one; this was how he made his money after he had married Francisco Pacheco’s daughter.
Diego Velasquez’s career was initiated by impressive and extraordinary paintings, pegging him as one of the country’s most revered painters. The Marques de Spinola himself was in awe at the splendor of realism portrayed in the painting The Surrender of Breda; the amount of details that went into painting the expression on every face, the threads of the fabrics, the tint on the skin, and everything about the painting was just magnificent. However, if there is one painting which you can regard to be exceptional and most popular among Diego Velasquez’s works, that would be the Las Meninas; it became so determining of his style that until today, it has made its way into the classrooms of different universities worldwide as people study realist paintings.
There are still plenty to be said about Diego Velasquez, his life, the role he played as one of Spain’s most prominent individual during his time and his brilliant paintings that transcends through time.
