	Diego Velázquez - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez (June, 1599 – August 6, 1660), commonly referred to as Diego Velázquez, was a Spanish painter, the leading artist in the court of King Philip IV.
		It was during this voyage that Velázquez must have heard the details of the surrender of Breda from the lips of the victor, and he must have sketched his fine head, known to us also by the portrait by Van Dyck.
		Here he painted the La fragua de Vulcano (1630, The Forge of Vulcan; no. 1171 of the Museo del Prado), in which Apollo narrates to the astonished Vulcan, the flsmith of the gods portrayed here as a village flsmith, the news of the infidelity of Venus, while four others listen to the scandal.

	WebMuseum: Velázquez (or Velásquez), Diego
		Diego Rodriguez de Silva Velasquez was born in Seville, Spain, presumably shortly before his baptism on June 6, 1599.
		Velasquez was called the "noblest and most commanding man among the artists of his country." He was a master realist, and no painter has surpassed him in the ability to seize essential features and fix them on canvas with a few broad, sure strokes.
		Because of Velasquez' great skill in merging color, light, space, rhythm of line, and mass in such a way that all have equal value, he was known as "the painter's painter." Ever since he taught Bartolomé Murillo, Velasquez has directly or indirectly led painters to make original contributions to the development of art.

	Mark Harden's Artchive: Velazquez: Las Meninas
		His all-powerful patron, the Count-Duke of Olivares, was dismissed in 1643, and in the same year Velasquez was promoted to be a Gentleman of the Bedchamber, an Assistant Superintendent of Works and, in 1658, to the horror of the official classes, he was invested with the Order of Santiago.
		At the moment when Velasquez' brush turned appearances into paint, he was performing an act of faith which involved his whole being.
		No doubt it was part of his duties to record the likenesses of these Court favourites, but in the main Velasquez room of the Prado there are as many portraits of buffoons as there are of the royal family (nine of each).

	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.
		For Goya's portrait of Francisco de Cabarrus (1788), he is reported to have studied the Velasquez portrait of Pablo de Valladolid (1636).
		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.

	dOc DVD Review: Velasquez: The Painter of Painters (1991) - Printable
		It's hard to argue with the premise that Diego da Silva Velasquez is the greatest painter in the history of art, and that his Las Meninas is the greatest painting.
		He may well have been the foremost propagandist of his age, the court painter to Philip IV of Spain, and Velasquez's images of the king were the principal way that the subjects got to see their monarch.
		And of course it's not just court portraiture on which Velasquez's reputation rests: his religious paintings are devout and profound, and his many portraits of dwarves, great favorites of the Hapsburgs, are rendered with a singular dignity and sympathy.
