Diego Velasquez, a Creation of Spain’s Artistic Tradition
There are a lot of dimensions in the art of painting and there are various styles, and various forms; the reason of a piece may serve as the manifestation of the painter’s emotions and sentiments. Paintings can be naturalistic, it can be also representational, as well as symbolic or with narrative meaning, and it can also be of a political agenda or simply to show what ones feel.
Spain is without a doubt part of the artistically blessed countries in Europe and, as a matter of fact, in the world. If you have a passion for painting and preparing for travel, then there’s no doubt that the country to visit is Spain; its museums are one of world’s exceptional museums, exhibiting rare collection of paintings from different eras and a lot of different artifacts and historical objects.

A lot of Spanish painters have put a legacy in the world of painting, and during Spain’s Golden Age or what is called El Siglo de Oro; several brilliant Spanish painters were acclaimed. One painter that made a legacy and became most well-known of them all is Diego Velasquez; he became so famous that he is also known as one of the most important personality in his generation. This master is truly one of a kind in terms of form and artwork; he is a realist painter and his vision in his art is something that was not yet common during his time.
Diego Velasquez was raised from minor nobility on the 5th day of the month of June 1559 in Seville. It’s quite impressive that this painter’s ability was seen so early, and that because of this he was able to gain an apprenticeship in the workshop of Francisco Pacheco when he was but eleven years old. Velasquez later on selected as his wife Pacheco’s daughter and made a living by painting with religious themes and creating still life paintings of tavern pieces; through it he gained a large sum of money and bought a nice house for them and another house to be rented out.
Diego Velasquez pursued his artistry and made a lot of great paintings that made him reknowned throughout the country and in different parts of the world. One of most popular paintings that came alive under his brush was The Surrender of Breda which he painted after meeting the great Marques de Spinola; Spinola was in awe after seeing the details of The Surrender of Breda, wondering at Diego Velasquez’s skill to communicate such emotions and realism through his brush strokes. Another masterpiece, and probably the most popular one credited to his name, is The Maids in Honour or Las Meninas; interestingly, he painted himself inside the painting, quietly working on a canvas at the background.
There is much to be said on the life and works of Diego Velasquez, these are only but a few of his works and how amazing he is as a painter and how he became Spain’s most celebrated artist.
