Diego Velazquez
First created 1 April 2009. Version 5.0, 27 Aug 2021, London. Daperro
The painter of painters.
“…while all the rest was art, this alone was truth.” Velazquez. 1650, Rome.
The Age of Reformation began in 1517 with Martin
Luther challenging the Catholic for the widespread
corruptions , including the Pope.
To combat the Protestant surge, the Catholic launched
their Counter Reformation, which led to asceticism (self-
deprivation as a route to salvation).
This led to intolerance to un-Catholic practices and ideas.
We saw the burning of books and even paintings in
Spain.
To fight protestant, the Spanish Inquisition used torture
to extract confessions from heretics, with the blessing of
the Catholic church.
The Spanish royal family saw themselves as the defender
of the Catholic faith.
It was in this socio-political environment that the Rokeby
Venus was painted.
The Spanish Inquisition, a legal religious commission with
power to sentence, was started in 15C to persecute the
Jews and the Moors to rid Spain of heretics. It was finally
abolished by Napoleon in 1813, more than 300 years
later.
Spanish Inquisition
Skillfully painted
kitchen wares.
Early Works
Using very limited colours, in
this early Caravagesque
painting He made grandeur and
gravity out of an daily event. He
painted the water seller (right)
with formality and respects.
He showed his painting skill by
the light falling on the glass
and the wet jug.
The Water Seller of Seville
Velazquez’s painting skills on light falling on the glass, the wet jug and the dry water container.
The Water Seller of Seville
Adoration of the Magi
Velazquez portrayed the Holy family in a direct way.
In particularly he drew our attention toward the newly
born Christ Baby and to the Virgin Mary, while St
Joseph looks up in admiration, while the three kings
kneel and presented their gifts of gold, frankincense
and myrrh.
Rokeby Venus
1610s.

1634
The Robeby Venus. 1647-51, Oil on canvas. 122x77 cm. National Gallery, London.
Only surviving Velazquez’s nude, such painting was heretical. It must be painted for someone in
power. All the edges in the painting are softly defined. The smooth creamy flesh is the most
distinctive feature of the painting, in contrast with the folded slate-grey sheet.
Rokeby Venus
What is the mirror for? For Venus or for us?
Rokeby Venus
Some say beauty cannot be painted. Maybe Velazquez wanted to protect her identity.
Though the Venus acknowledged our present.
Rokeby Venus
Very broad brush stroke. Is this ‘truth’ and not ‘reality’?

Las Meninas, the Maids of Honour. Velazquez brilliantly arranged the people in this spatial maze. Although
the Infanta Margarite occupied the central place in the painting yet the painting is about Velazquez. It
marked the zenith of his achievement, as he proudly wore the Cross of Santiago. In the present of the King
and Queen, from the out-of-focus reflection on the mirror.

Painting Technique
Fable of Arahne
Fable of Arahne
Apollo and Vulcan
This painting was painted in
Rome. It showed the humanity of
gods.
The painting depict the scene
when Apollo told Vulcan that his
wife, Venus, was in the arms of
his vest client, Mars.
In the painting Velazquez had
depicted a range of emotive
reaction to Apollo’s message.
Apollo and Vulcan
Portrays
The drinkers were an extraordinary group of rough and weather beaten men. They were modeled on real
people, in contemporary clothes, They looked out of the painting with their drunken gleams on their faces,
drowning in the wine and free from the burden of daily living.
The Feast of Bacchus
The Feast of Bacchus
The Feast of Bacchus (Drunkards) 1629
Velazquez painted her with aged face and suspicious eyes, filled with missionary zeal and steely
intelligence. She held her cross with determination. She is personification of the religious super-ego. She is
ready to take the harsh, disapproving measures to curb disobedience, which she wearily expected. It
was Catholic answer to counter the Protestant’s purity.
Painted shortly before Jeronima left for Philippines to found the first convent there.
Mother Jeronima de la Fuente. 1620. Private Collection.
Jeronima de la Fuente
This magnificent silver robe of the king is deceptive. The closer
you get to the painting the more you are aware of his amazing
painting technique. What looks meticulously and labouredly
painted silver threads become a jumbo of hastily applied
brushstrokes. From a distance, Velazquez depended on our
eyes and brain to bland and see what we perceived. This
demonstrated his understanding of the sensation of lights that
is the bases of the Impressionist approach in the 19C.
Philip IV
Needlewoman 1635-43
The fingers and hands showed
that this is an unfinished portrait.
This is a portrait of a noble, dignify and intelligent man with an intense gaze. This is
Velazquez’s most searching works.
Don Sebastian de Morra
It is painful to realize that de Morra, the
intelligent and dignified dwarf, was
employed for the amusement of the
court. Velazquez did not compromise
on his disability. The closed fisted
and shortened legs were honestly
depicted. His character is
strengthened with de Morra’s intense
and almost tearful gaze.
The painting was painted with a very
limited range of colours. Juan de
Pareja appeared on the painting as if
he was from the nobility. Velazquez
painted him with astounding dignity.
It was clear that he painted him with a
lot of respect.
Juan de Pareja was a Moor and he
was also a slave, working for
Velazquez. Velazquez freed him in
1654. He became a painter in his
own right.
If respect can be painted, this is it.
Juan de Pareja
Female Sibyl
Although the painting was
giving the called ‘Sibyl with
Tubula Rasa’ , there is some
doubt if the title is
appropriate. Sibyls were
female prophets who foretold
the coming of Jesus to the
Roman.
The clothing (not robes) and
the simply hair style
suggested otherwise.
Velazquez portrayed Pope Innocent X with
his weariness and mistrust that he was
well-known for. This is the man who held on
power with an iron grip. His calculated gaze
warn us to approach with care.
This painting is universally regarded as a
supreme masterpiece of portraiture not only
in the way he painted the subject but also his
psychological penetration on the
character.

Aesop
Aesop, a Greek writer who lived in the 6C BC, is famous for his
fables illustrating truths about life and human nature. After having a
slave to two masters, he was freed as a reward for his wit and
wisdom and rose to prominence as a philosopher.
Velazquez depicted Aesop as a tired old man, who steered with
serious intelligent expression and great dignity.
Mars
Velazquez depicted Mars as a veteran,
instead of a heroic figure of brute
strength and courageous fighter. He
appeared to be deflated, peering out
enigmatically through the shadow cast
by his helmet.
Francisco Lezcano
The man is thought to be
Francisco Lezcano, who came to
court from in 1634. Not much is
known about the man.
Dwarfs and fools were exploited
by court culture, that saw them as
curiosities. Velazquez portrayed
him frankly. Having crawled up
on a rock, leaving his hot behind,
he looked slightly down on us.
This is one of four portraits that
depicted dwarfs and a fool, not a
subject usually painted by other
artists.
The latest of three portraits of
the Infanta Margarita by
Velazquez in the Kunst
historishches Museum. This
reflected the 17C relationship
between the two branches of
the Habsburgs – Spain and
Austria.
Infanta Margarita was born on
12 July 1651. She was
promised in early childhood to
her uncle and also cousin, the
crown prince Leopold, later
Emperor Leopold I.
These paintings of Infanta
Margarite were sent to Austria
to show how the young
princess was progressing.

Velazquez Timeline
Velazquez
Timeline
Many of Velazquez canvases were large.
In the beginning 16C to mid-17, Spain was the
superpower in an uni-polar world. Apart from the
Americas, the Netherlands (including Belgium today),
Southern Italy, Austria, part of France and even the
Philippines belonged to Spain. Its powerful navy
sailed on all the oceans of the world.
Why is the King of Spain, the powerful man in world
built his enormous palace like a prison, the Escorial
just outside Madrid?
The Spanish King saw himself as the defender of
the Catholic faith. In response to the Protestant
Reformation, the Catholic preached a life style of
abstinence from worldly pleasures in pursuit of a
spiritual goals.
By the time of Diego Velazquez, Spain was already bankrupted, with an immense burden of debts. Gold
shipments from the New World were continued disrupted. Spain was at odds with reality (like Don Quixote in
the greatest Spanish novel by Cervantes). No expenses were spared on lavish displays or in erecting
Cathedrals, palaces of religion. The Church colluded the ruling class to create the most repressive
society in Western Europe. This lasted into the 20C. Spain was finally free from itself when Spain joined
the European Union.
It was under this climate that Diego Velazquez lived. This made his search for the ‘Truth’ in his paintings
that more surprising, while others glorified or in delusion.
17C Spain
Spain constantly went to wars with the Protestant states. The Thirty Years War, the Spanish Armada, the
French Wars of Religion just to name a few.

Music – By Yasmin Levy, Naci En Alamo (I was born in
Alamo), Written in Ladino (Judeo-Espanol) and Flamenco
style, dating back to 500 year ago.
“I have no place. And I have no landscapes. I have no homeland. With my cold fingers I made a fire.
And with my heart I sing to you. The chords of my heart are crying.”

Diego Velazquez 5.0

  • 1. Diego Velazquez First created 1 April 2009. Version 5.0, 27 Aug 2021, London. Daperro The painter of painters. “…while all the rest was art, this alone was truth.” Velazquez. 1650, Rome.
  • 2. The Age of Reformation began in 1517 with Martin Luther challenging the Catholic for the widespread corruptions , including the Pope. To combat the Protestant surge, the Catholic launched their Counter Reformation, which led to asceticism (self- deprivation as a route to salvation). This led to intolerance to un-Catholic practices and ideas. We saw the burning of books and even paintings in Spain. To fight protestant, the Spanish Inquisition used torture to extract confessions from heretics, with the blessing of the Catholic church. The Spanish royal family saw themselves as the defender of the Catholic faith. It was in this socio-political environment that the Rokeby Venus was painted. The Spanish Inquisition, a legal religious commission with power to sentence, was started in 15C to persecute the Jews and the Moors to rid Spain of heretics. It was finally abolished by Napoleon in 1813, more than 300 years later. Spanish Inquisition
  • 4. Using very limited colours, in this early Caravagesque painting He made grandeur and gravity out of an daily event. He painted the water seller (right) with formality and respects. He showed his painting skill by the light falling on the glass and the wet jug. The Water Seller of Seville
  • 5. Velazquez’s painting skills on light falling on the glass, the wet jug and the dry water container. The Water Seller of Seville
  • 6. Adoration of the Magi Velazquez portrayed the Holy family in a direct way. In particularly he drew our attention toward the newly born Christ Baby and to the Virgin Mary, while St Joseph looks up in admiration, while the three kings kneel and presented their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.
  • 8. The Robeby Venus. 1647-51, Oil on canvas. 122x77 cm. National Gallery, London. Only surviving Velazquez’s nude, such painting was heretical. It must be painted for someone in power. All the edges in the painting are softly defined. The smooth creamy flesh is the most distinctive feature of the painting, in contrast with the folded slate-grey sheet. Rokeby Venus
  • 9. What is the mirror for? For Venus or for us? Rokeby Venus
  • 10. Some say beauty cannot be painted. Maybe Velazquez wanted to protect her identity. Though the Venus acknowledged our present.
  • 12. Very broad brush stroke. Is this ‘truth’ and not ‘reality’? Rokeby Venus
  • 13. Rokeby Venus The Robeby Venus. 1647-51, Oil on canvas. 122x77 cm. National Gallery, London. .
  • 14. Las Meninas, the Maids of Honour. Velazquez brilliantly arranged the people in this spatial maze. Although the Infanta Margarite occupied the central place in the painting yet the painting is about Velazquez. It marked the zenith of his achievement, as he proudly wore the Cross of Santiago. In the present of the King and Queen, from the out-of-focus reflection on the mirror. Las Meninas
  • 15. Velazquez King & Queen posing on the mirror’s reflection Princess Infanta Margarita A palace marshal Lady in waiting Lady in waiting Two dwarfs Nurse & chaperon
  • 16. Velazquez often painted in and out of focus, just as we normally do.
  • 18. Velazquez showed himself as the king’s painter and the knight of the order of Santiago. In the company of the Spanish royal family, this painting summarized his life time achieve as a court painter par excellent.
  • 21. 1. Apply a base colours. 2. Then created the effect of light using darker and lighter colours. 3. Finished of some the finer details. 4. Added the cross after he had been made a knight of the order. Painting Technique
  • 25. This painting was painted in Rome. It showed the humanity of gods. The painting depict the scene when Apollo told Vulcan that his wife, Venus, was in the arms of his vest client, Mars. In the painting Velazquez had depicted a range of emotive reaction to Apollo’s message. Apollo and Vulcan
  • 27. The drinkers were an extraordinary group of rough and weather beaten men. They were modeled on real people, in contemporary clothes, They looked out of the painting with their drunken gleams on their faces, drowning in the wine and free from the burden of daily living. The Feast of Bacchus
  • 28. The Feast of Bacchus
  • 29. The Feast of Bacchus (Drunkards) 1629
  • 30. Velazquez painted her with aged face and suspicious eyes, filled with missionary zeal and steely intelligence. She held her cross with determination. She is personification of the religious super-ego. She is ready to take the harsh, disapproving measures to curb disobedience, which she wearily expected. It was Catholic answer to counter the Protestant’s purity. Painted shortly before Jeronima left for Philippines to found the first convent there. Mother Jeronima de la Fuente. 1620. Private Collection. Jeronima de la Fuente
  • 31. This magnificent silver robe of the king is deceptive. The closer you get to the painting the more you are aware of his amazing painting technique. What looks meticulously and labouredly painted silver threads become a jumbo of hastily applied brushstrokes. From a distance, Velazquez depended on our eyes and brain to bland and see what we perceived. This demonstrated his understanding of the sensation of lights that is the bases of the Impressionist approach in the 19C. Philip IV
  • 32. Needlewoman 1635-43 The fingers and hands showed that this is an unfinished portrait.
  • 33. This is a portrait of a noble, dignify and intelligent man with an intense gaze. This is Velazquez’s most searching works. Don Sebastian de Morra
  • 34. It is painful to realize that de Morra, the intelligent and dignified dwarf, was employed for the amusement of the court. Velazquez did not compromise on his disability. The closed fisted and shortened legs were honestly depicted. His character is strengthened with de Morra’s intense and almost tearful gaze.
  • 35. The painting was painted with a very limited range of colours. Juan de Pareja appeared on the painting as if he was from the nobility. Velazquez painted him with astounding dignity. It was clear that he painted him with a lot of respect. Juan de Pareja was a Moor and he was also a slave, working for Velazquez. Velazquez freed him in 1654. He became a painter in his own right. If respect can be painted, this is it. Juan de Pareja
  • 36. Female Sibyl Although the painting was giving the called ‘Sibyl with Tubula Rasa’ , there is some doubt if the title is appropriate. Sibyls were female prophets who foretold the coming of Jesus to the Roman. The clothing (not robes) and the simply hair style suggested otherwise.
  • 37. Velazquez portrayed Pope Innocent X with his weariness and mistrust that he was well-known for. This is the man who held on power with an iron grip. His calculated gaze warn us to approach with care. This painting is universally regarded as a supreme masterpiece of portraiture not only in the way he painted the subject but also his psychological penetration on the character. Pope Innocent X
  • 38. Pope Innocent X Apsley House. London version Galleria Doria-Pamphiji. Rome. version
  • 39. Aesop Aesop, a Greek writer who lived in the 6C BC, is famous for his fables illustrating truths about life and human nature. After having a slave to two masters, he was freed as a reward for his wit and wisdom and rose to prominence as a philosopher. Velazquez depicted Aesop as a tired old man, who steered with serious intelligent expression and great dignity.
  • 40. Mars Velazquez depicted Mars as a veteran, instead of a heroic figure of brute strength and courageous fighter. He appeared to be deflated, peering out enigmatically through the shadow cast by his helmet.
  • 41. Francisco Lezcano The man is thought to be Francisco Lezcano, who came to court from in 1634. Not much is known about the man. Dwarfs and fools were exploited by court culture, that saw them as curiosities. Velazquez portrayed him frankly. Having crawled up on a rock, leaving his hot behind, he looked slightly down on us. This is one of four portraits that depicted dwarfs and a fool, not a subject usually painted by other artists.
  • 42. The latest of three portraits of the Infanta Margarita by Velazquez in the Kunst historishches Museum. This reflected the 17C relationship between the two branches of the Habsburgs – Spain and Austria. Infanta Margarita was born on 12 July 1651. She was promised in early childhood to her uncle and also cousin, the crown prince Leopold, later Emperor Leopold I. These paintings of Infanta Margarite were sent to Austria to show how the young princess was progressing. Pope Infanta Margarita in a Blue Dress

  • 44. Landscape An example of Velazquez’s landscape painting.
  • 47. Velazquez Timeline Velazquez Timeline Many of Velazquez canvases were large.
  • 48. In the beginning 16C to mid-17, Spain was the superpower in an uni-polar world. Apart from the Americas, the Netherlands (including Belgium today), Southern Italy, Austria, part of France and even the Philippines belonged to Spain. Its powerful navy sailed on all the oceans of the world. Why is the King of Spain, the powerful man in world built his enormous palace like a prison, the Escorial just outside Madrid? The Spanish King saw himself as the defender of the Catholic faith. In response to the Protestant Reformation, the Catholic preached a life style of abstinence from worldly pleasures in pursuit of a spiritual goals. By the time of Diego Velazquez, Spain was already bankrupted, with an immense burden of debts. Gold shipments from the New World were continued disrupted. Spain was at odds with reality (like Don Quixote in the greatest Spanish novel by Cervantes). No expenses were spared on lavish displays or in erecting Cathedrals, palaces of religion. The Church colluded the ruling class to create the most repressive society in Western Europe. This lasted into the 20C. Spain was finally free from itself when Spain joined the European Union. It was under this climate that Diego Velazquez lived. This made his search for the ‘Truth’ in his paintings that more surprising, while others glorified or in delusion. 17C Spain Spain constantly went to wars with the Protestant states. The Thirty Years War, the Spanish Armada, the French Wars of Religion just to name a few.

  1. Few painters have achieved success so early and remained so successful throughout their lives as Velazquez. Even in his teens he was acclaimed as a master painter. By the age of 24 he had become Court Painter to King Philip IV. For nearly 40 years he produced an incomparable series of the king and of other figures at court. H e created an art as moving and as varied as any in Europe and less confined to its age than many other, seemingly freer, painters.
