Diego Velazquez (June 6, 1599 - August 6, 1660). He was an important Spanish baroque painter of the 17th century. His paintings are of the royal family and scenes of daily life, as well as scenes based of Roman mythology.
Velazquez was the court painter of King Philip IV of Spain. In portraying the royal family, Velázquez generally painted a bust-length portrait from life, creating full-length versions. "Las Meninas" (1656, "Maids of Honor") is Velázquez's most important painting.
Diego Velazquez's artwork was a model for painters like Edouard Manet, Antonio Puga, Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali.
