Description:"He is the painter of painters!" Edouard Manet exclaimed when he saw the magnificent collection of Velazquez in Madrid's Prado Museum. Velazquez's paintings have never failed to evoke the profoundest admiration and pleasure, and this was true even during his lifetime. In 1623 King Philip IV of Spain appointed him Court Painter, and for thirty-seven years, until his death in 1660, he served the King who jealously guarded his services and treasured his paintings. But even as Court Painter Velazquez made all humanity his subject. Before his miraculous brush all men were equal. He did not flatter the King or the royal family, nor did he insult the beggar or the court dwarf. We come away from his work with a strong conviction of his character--proud, exquisitely refined and sensitive, gentle, serious, brilliantly intelligent. He steadily evolved as a painter, becoming ever more economical in statement and more masterful in his ability to seize the essential and fix it forever.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
