In this comprehensive introduction to Veálzquez's life and art by Richard Verdi, the artist's major works are discussed along with most of his surviving output of approximately 110 paintings. Veálzquez's greatest innovation, his unorthodox and revolutionary technique, is explored in relation to his most-celebrated contemporaries both in Spain and beyond, including Titian and Peter Paul Rubens. Veálzquez concludes with a final chapter on the influence and importance of Veálzquez's art on later painters from the time of his death to the art of recent times, including Francisco Goya, Pablo Picasso, Francis Bacon, and the Impressionists."--Publisher marketing.
