“Diego Velázquez was a leading Spanish painter of the Baroque period, celebrated as one of the greatest artists in Western art history. Born in Seville in 1599, he became the court painter to King Philip IV of Spain in 1623 and remained in the king's service until his death in Madrid in 1660. He is known for his realism, mastery of light and shadow, and his portraits of the royal family.”
