About the Item
Diego Velázquez (Seville 1599 - Madrid 1660) circle of
Portrait of a Leader 17th Century
Oil painting on canvas
99 x 73.5 cm
The painting shows significant elements of seventeenth-century Spanish portraiture and its greatest representative, Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez. Our canvas was born in the circle of artists who grew up under his influence, among these the most important students: Juan Bautista Martínez del Mazo, Juan de Pareja and Juan Carreño de Miranda.
At the age of twelve he entered Francisco Pacheco's workshop, immediately showing his talent. In 1618 he was already an independent artist, he worked in his city painting with a strong influence of Caravaggio. He moved to Madrid and became official painter of Philip IV. He thus had the opportunity to explore the court collection and to cultivate a particular interest in the Venetian school and in Titian in particular. Probably, on the advice of the Rubens, he traveled twice to Italy, an opportunity to closely study the various painting schools and the great masters, refining his style and concentrating on the pictorial and environmental rendering of light. Loved and respected by his colleagues of his time, thanks to Alonso Cano and Zurbarán he was awarded the title of Knight of Santiago. His painting of excellent quality and realism was experienced after his passing thanks to his students, among them: Juan Bautista Martínez del Mazo, Juan de Pareja and Juan Carreño de Miranda.
