Diego Velazquez

D.O.B. & Nationality: 1599 - 1660 / Spanish

Meet Diego Velázquez, a notable figure of 17th-century Spanish art. Born in 1599, his artistic journey spanned six decades until his death in 1660. He earned great acclaim for his remarkably detailed, highly complex works, among which "Las Meninas" and "The Surrender of Breda" stand out prominently. Velázquez brilliantly illustrated the human condition, capable of evoking intense emotions through his art. Acclaimed for his masterful technique and innovative use of color and light, Velázquez's contributions to the world of art have been, and continue to be, truly influential.
