		Velasquez interesseert zich voor alle facetten van het bestaan : voor het licht dat op een kruik, een stuk stof of een karak met water valt, voor kleurnuances en schaduwen - maar vooral voor de blik in de ogen van mensen, voor de kleine trekjes rond hun mond, voor de lijnen in hun gezicht.

	Goya and Velasquez
		Velasquez, painter of Spain's worldly pride and power, of the pomp and panoply of that brief moment in the 17th Century when the nation stood boldly, if insecurely, at the center of the historical stage.
		Moreover, he saw that Velasquez was a painter who had, a century earlier, practiced what the Enlightenment was now preaching – the close scrutiny of nature, in particular human nature – and that he had a psychological awareness that none of Goya's contemporaries approached.
		His painting has undeniable influences of Velasquez, according to Yraider, his first biographer, a noticeable thing in his large fulsome portraits, because also in Goya one finds atmosphere, light, life, power and delicacy of tone.
