What is Velázquez : las Meninas and the late royal portraits about?

One of the most influential, admired painters to ever a look at some of Velzquess court portraits from 1649 to his death in 1660 Diego Velzquez was one of the most important and influential painters in the Spanish Golden Age and the leading artist in King Philip IVs court. To accompany an exhibition at the Museo Nacional del Prado in Spain, this book analyzes the development of Velzquezs court portraits from his second trip to Rome in 1649 to his death in Madrid in 1660, a period that saw the creation of some of the greatest of all masterpieces within this genre, such as Las Meninas . Also included are portraits produced in Velzquezs circle that focus on the complex process behind the creation of the royal image. The book traces the subsequent development of the Spanish court portrait after Velzquezs death when artists such as Mazo and Carreno reinterpreted his ideas, resulting in innovative contributions to the genre in their depictions of Margarita of Austria, Mariana of Austria, and Charles II. 92 illustrations, 83 in color
