Description
Diego Velázquez (1599-1660) spent his formative years in Seville, laying the foundations for his remarkable artistic career. This beautifully illustrated book explores the significance of Seville to Velázquez's development as an artist. The city played a crucial role in shaping Velázquez's style and subject matter, from his early masterpieces to his later works, including the famous Water-seller of Seville. The book delves into various aspects of Sevillian culture and Catholic theology, picaresque literature, and Velázquez's own artistic innovations. Published on the occasion of a major exhibition at the National Gallery of Scotland in 1996, this catalogue features an international team of art scholars' insights into Velázquez's early work.
