| Summary: | Like no other, Diego Velazquez inspired generations of European artists. His life and work are closely bound to the court of King Philip IV, who appointed him as court painter and on whose orders he travelled through Italy. Ambitious courtier that he was, the Spaniard was a master of observation and visual manipulation. Didier Baussy-Oulianoff showcases his epoch-making portraits and genre paintings that reveal Velazquez's virtuosity in treating light, colour and sensuous characterisation. He also lifts Velazquez's secret of painting that helped him become the painter of painters. |
