		Velazquez was the son of Rodriguez de Silva, a lawyer in Seville, descended from a noble Portuguese family, and was baptized on the 6th of June 1599.
		Velazquez was in constant and close attendance on Philip, accompanying him in his journeys to Aragon in 1642 and 1644, and was doubtless present with him when he entered Lerida as a conqueror.
		Velazquez's son-in-law Mazo had succeeded him as usher in 1634, and he himself had received steady promotion in the royal household, receiving a pension of 500 ducats in 1640, increased to 700 in 1648, for portraits painted and to be painted, and being appointed inspector of works in the palace in 1647.

		Velazquez does not seem to have started with a fixed idea for a composition but rather preferred to see what happened as he worked, making adjustments as he painted.
		One of the most interesting idiosyncrasies of Velazquez's technique is the use of blue pigments in combination with whites, ochres, and yellows to create the greenish parts of a painting, be they landscapes or costumes.
		Velazquez modulates the color of the sky by mixing azurite with iron oxide, lead-tin yellow, lead white, calcite, and large amounts of oil.

		Velazquez synthetises this work with an extraordinary knowledge of the pictorial possibilities and the sublime know how of area and perspective.
		Velazquez´s Italian influences (Tiziano) are very evident in this piece, easily identified, the clearest example is his treatment of the landscape that highlights the detail of the prince´s clothes.
		A portrait for the exaltation of a member of the royal family ends up becoming a display of Velazquez´s mastery, and like a great impressionist, the dog to the right shows an animal full of energy and readiness in comparison to the larger sleeping one on the ground.

	Diego Velazquez
		Velazquez has deployed gesticulating figures in a stagelike setting in relatively clear interior illumination, hence without the odd shadows that contribute to the portentousness of the bodegones.
		In these efforts Velazquez is trying to be an Italian master, and it is instructive to see how clumsily he handles perspective, especially in the Joseph painting, where he utilized the kind of checkerboard tiles standardly employed to facilitate an illusion of orderly spatial recession.
		Velazquez as far as I know, invented this kind of space, and used it to great effect in his standing portraits, most stunningly in his study of the jester Pablo of Valladolid (not in this show).

		Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Velázquez was born in 1599 in Seville, the first child of Juan Rodriguez de Silva and Jeronima Velázquez, members of the lesser nobility.
		Velázquez seems to have started his apprenticeship with Francisco de Herrera the Elder (c.1590-1654), but a short while later (in 1611) his father put him with Francisco Pacheco (1564-1644), who was an artist of modest talent, but a tolerant teacher and a man of society.
		At this time, Velazquez became familiar with the school of Caravaggio.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Velazquez
		For thirty-seven years Velazquez's fortune lasted; even the fall of Olivarez, in 1643, did not lessen the royal favour towards Velazquez, who rose one degree in official functions with each year, becoming in turn gentleman of the bed-chamber, master of the wardrobe, and finally (1652) aposentador, or quartermaster of the royal migrations.
		This intimacy was Velazquez' romance; it lends a peculiar charm to the long series of portraits the painter made of his royal friend.
		Velazquez seems to have had no imagination; his work is perhaps the most remarkable existing example of exclusively naturalistic and realistic art.

		Diego Velasquez (1599-1660) was a Spanish painter who was the leading artist in the court of King Philip IV of Spain.
		For thirty-seven years Velazquez's fortune lasted; even the fall of Olivarez, in 1643,; did not lessen the royal favour towards Velazquez, who rose one degree in official functions with each year, becoming in turn gentleman of the bed-chamber, master of the wardrobe, and finally (1652) aposentador, or quartermaster of the royal migrations.
		This progress of art in Velazquez is shown chiefly in the work of this period, "Christ at the Column" (National Gallery, London) and the "Crucifixion" of the Prado, which ThÃ©ophile Gautier has compared to a beautiful ivory crucifix on a background of dark velvet.
