Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez
(1599-1660)

Spain's greatest painter was also one of the supreme artists of all time. A master of technique, highly individual in style, Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez may have had a greater influence on European art than any other painter.

Diego Rodriguez de Silva Velasquez was born in Seville, Spain, presumably shortly before his baptism on June 6, 1599. His father was of noble Portuguese descent. In his teens Velázquez Diego(or Velásquez) studied art with Francisco Pacheco, whose daughter he married. The young Velasquez once declared, "I would rather be the first painter of common things than second in higher art." Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez(or Velásquez) learned much from studying nature. After his marriage at the age of 19, Velasquez went to Madrid. When Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez was 24 he painted a portrait of Philip IV, who became his patron.
The artist made two visits to Italy. On his first, in 1629, he copied masterpieces in Venice and Rome. Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez(or Velásquez) returned to Italy 20 years later and bought many paintings--by Titian, Tintoretto, and Paolo Veronese--and statuary for the king's collection.
Except for these journeys Velasquez lived in Madrid as court painter. His paintings include landscapes, mythological and religious subjects, and scenes from common life, called genre pictures. Most of them, however, are portraits of court notables that rank with the portraits painted by Titian and Anthony Van Dyck.
Duties of Velasquez' royal offices also occupied his time. Velázquez Diego(or Velásquez) was eventually made marshal of the royal household, and as such he was responsible for the royal quarters and for planning ceremonies. - Spanish Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez oil paintings - Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez Spanish oil painting –oil painting modern, Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez Bio by Spanish oil paintings art of paintings Velázquez Diego.
In 1660 Velasquez had charge of his last and greatest ceremony--the wedding of the Infant Maria Theresa to Louis XIV of France. This was a most elaborate affair. Worn out from these labors, Velasquez contracted a fever from which Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez died on August 6.
