'Las Meninas' [Dames in Waiting] by Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Velázquez - Educa - 6000 Pieces
Velasquez’s career ended with his most significant work Las Meninas. The painting is a multiple portrait of the royal family and court. The principal figure with all the power of her mischievous charm, is the little Infanta Margarita, who has burst into Velasquez’s studio, followed by her ladies, dwarfs and dogs, in a flurry of skirts, cloaks and ribbons, while he was intent on painting the king and queen, whose only images are visible, reflected in the mirror hanging on the wall, where two large mythological paintings, one by Rubens, the other by Jordaens hang.

Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Velázquez was born in 1599 in Seville, Spain. He was a painter of both Kings and Popes. Today his art hangs in museums around the world.
In addition to his many official portraits, Velázquez painted during his last years, two of his most original figure compositions and greatest masterpieces. Las Hilanderas, a genre scene in a tapestry factory, is at the same time an illustration of the ancient Greek fable of the spinning contest.
