I will never ever ever ever get over Diego Velazquez's portrait work

First four are paintings of little people (jesters) of the Spanish court - you can read more about them here.

Last one is a painting of Juan de Pareja, another painter (you can read more about him here, this article and most other sources say he was Diego Velazquez's slave who was later freed, but I saw another one say that that was recently debunked so idk which is correct lol). It's the earliest known portrait of an Afro-Spanish man.

#art #inspiration #mostly posting these to put in my inspiration tag tbh lol #I have a painting planned that I might study these for #I just love how REAL people look in his work #They're so incredibly honest and beautiful #diego velazquez #art history

Two Just Stop Oil protesters were arrested after smashing the glass protecting the iconic Rokeby Venus by Diego Velázquez at the National Gallery in London.

The incident comes hot on the heels of several widely publicised attacks against artworks by climate activists.

Is art vandalism for ostensibly noble political purposes justified, or is there something more sinister — and indefensible — at play?
