Diego Velázquez

Diego Velázquez (1599-1660) was a renowned Spanish painter of the Baroque era. Considered one of Spain's greatest artists, he mastered the fusion of realism and drama in his works. His subjects often featured powerful, emotionally charged portraits of royalty, nobility, and commoners. Velázquez's use of chiaroscuro, tenebrism, and sfumato created a sense of depth and mystery, influencing generations of artists to come.
