Diego Velazquéz

Explore the life and legacy of Diego Velázquez, a prominent Baroque painter known for his dramatic and grand works. Active during the period from 1660 to 1750, Velázquez's art is characterized by exaggerated motion and vivid detail, creating a sense of tension and exuberance. Influenced by the Catholic Church, his paintings often deviated from daily life to focus on sacred themes, portraits, and royal figures. As the court painter for King Philip IV and a key figure in Baroque artistry, Velázquez leaves a lasting impact on the art world.
