Diego Velazquez
Spanish Baroque Era Painter, 1599-1660
Spanish painter. He was one of the most important European artists of the 17th century, spending his career from 1623 in the service of Philip IV of Spain. His early canvases comprised bodegones and religious paintings, but as a court artist he was largely occupied in executing portraits, while also producing some historical, mythological and further religious works. His painting was deeply affected by the work of Rubens and by Venetian artists, especially Titian, as well as by the experience of two trips (1629-31 and 1649-51) to Italy. Under these joint influences he developed a uniquely personal style characterized by very loose, expressive brushwork. Although he had no immediate followers, he was greatly admired by such later painters as Goya and Manet Related Paintings of Diego Velazquez :. | Adoration of the Magi (df01) | Le Prince Baltasar Carlos au manege royal avec le comte-duc d'Olivares (df02) | Saint john the Evangelist on the Island of Patmos | Camillo Massimi (detail) (df01) | Christ in the house of Marta and Maria | Related Artists: morris hirshfieldArkhip Kuinjiwas originally a Greek,Then he got to St. Petersburg1842 - 1910 ludwig van beethovenBorn: December 1770
