This book by Jonathan Brown offers an in-depth analysis of the life and work of Diego Velázquez, one of the most important painters in Western art. The author examines Velázquez's career from a dual perspective: artistic and biographical, exploring his revolutionary technique and his social ambition in the court of Philip IV. It highlights the artist's dilemma in trying to reconcile his desire to be considered a great gentleman and a great artist in a society where painting was not seen as a liberal art.
