In his most famous masterpiece, “Las Meninas” (1656), Diego Velázquez accumulates dizzying reflections and enigmatic echoes of the court life of King Philip IV of Spain.
Diego Velázquez’s painting questions the power of both the monarch and the artist, between illusion and reality. What secrets does this “photograph” hide of the Infanta Margarita surrounded by her maids of honor, the famous “Las Meninas,” María Agustina de Sarmiento and Isabel de Velasco, the dwarf María Bárbola, the jester Nicolasito Pertusato, and a mastiff dog.
