La virtualidad de Velázquez
Las inquietudes artísticas del maestro sevillano proyectan desde el siglo XVII un conjunto de ideas tan innovador como sorprendente. Por Silvina … La virtualidad de Velázquez Blog Carambola Producciones #arte #Velazquez
I studied the Modern Period at the Courtauld, but am interested in everything else. What a delight to 'bump into' a Velazquez I didn't know about. And the city is beautiful; its cathedral now my favourite in Italy. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #Velazquez #artgallery

🇪🇦Hola a todos, hace pocos días se ha publicado mi primera colaboración con la revista Stella Itineris. Aquí está una pequeña muestra de mi artículo. Espero que os guste! 😊

I’m very glad that I was not a noble or royal in the Spanish court in the 17th century because there is no way that I would be able to navigate life wearing the “guardainfante” – that amazing cage hip structure that was all the rage in Spain (I would not have done well as an antebellum Southern belle, either). The guardinfante was very controversial when it first appeared in the 1630s (not the least because it was rumored that the structure was used to camouflage secret pregnancies) but the ladies loved it so it became a very visible sign of rank with the width strictly court-regulated. Velázquez painted multiple portraits of the infanta Margarita; this one, in a glorious, blue silk dress with wide silver trim, was painted for the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I who was to marry the young Spanish princess. Margarita Teresa is 8 years old in this 1659 painting – one of Velázquez’ last paintings before he died in 1660 – and she married the Emperor (who also happened to be her uncle: don’t get me started on Habsburgs) when she turned 15. If she looks familiar, perhaps you recognize her from Velázquez’ “Las Meninas” when she was aged 5 (and also wearing a guardinfante even then!). Velázquez was famous for his loose brushwork, especially in his later work, and the silk here glows as it catches the light; the silk, the silver braid trim on the dress, the lace collar and the fur muff are all very loosely detailed but somehow we still feel the different textures. In contrast, the artist has more carefully painted Margarita’s face and hands so that her pale skin and golden hair are emphasized by the informality of the dress handling. Note also that Velázquez includes a background setting in his portrait; most of the portraits we’ve seen this month have plain, solid backgrounds.
October's theme: Fabulous Gowns in Art
DIEGO VELÁZQUEZ (1599 – 1660), “Infanta Margarita”, 1659. Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, Austria.

This side-by-side image compares two interior group portraits that play with spatial depth, mirrors, and the gaze. On the left is The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit by John Singer Sargent, showing four young girls in a dimly lit room flanked by two large vases, with some girls retreating into shadowy corners and others nearer to the viewer, creating a mysterious, almost psychological atmosphere. On the right is Diego Velázquez’s Las Meninas, a masterwork of Spanish Baroque art, depicting the young Infanta Margarita surrounded by her entourage in a royal studio, with Velázquez himself painting at a large canvas, and a mirror at the back reflecting the king and queen—blurring the boundary between viewer and subject.
John Singer Sargent, The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit (1882) + Velazquez, Las Meninas (1656)
Critics—including Henry James—wrote of Sargent's debt to Velázquez. The two paintings were exhibited side-by-side at the Prado in 2010

The image shows two paintings side by side, both exploring themes of mirrors and female reflection. In the first, a young woman in a striped dress and apron stands in front of a tall wooden mirror, her back to the viewer as her face and clasped hands are revealed only through the glass; the simple interior and muted tones emphasize modesty and quiet introspection. In the second, a reclining nude woman lies on a bed of draped fabrics with her back turned, while a cherub with wings holds up a mirror that reflects her face; the rich colors and sensuous composition contrast sharply with the restrained atmosphere of the first painting. Together, the works highlight different artistic approaches to the idea of self-image and the gaze.
Eva Gonzalès, The Full-Length Mirror (La Psyché) (c.1869-70) + Velázquez, Rokeby Venus (1647-51)
Gonzalès admired Velázquez greatly and explored the theme of a woman studying herself in a mirror

The image is split into two sections. The first is Diego Velázquez’s realistic 1650 portrait of Pope Innocent X, showing the pope in rich red and white robes, seated on a gold-trimmed throne against a dark reddish background, his expression stern and lifelike. The second is Francis Bacon’s distorted, haunting reinterpretation, depicting the pope in ghostly purple and white tones, screaming with mouth agape, the throne and figure blurred by vertical streaks and surrounded by yellow lines, set against a dark, almost prison-like backdrop.

self-portrait of Diego Velázquez
On this day in 1660, Diego Velázquez hung up his paintbrush for good. A master of light, his legacy still influences artists like Hermann Nitsch and Daan Koens. Not bad for a member of the Order of Santiago! #history #cronologia #spanishart #velazquez #OrderOfSantiago

Nouvelle journée à Madrid, on va visiter le Parc Retiro, j'y étais déjà en 2018 mais j'avais eu beaucoup moins de temps.
On commence par le Palacio de Velázquez, architecture néo-mudéjare.

She turned her back to the viewer—but history refused to look away. From scandal to slashing, the Rokeby Venus has lived many lives.
