Velazquez. The Complete Works (Lopez-Rey Jose, Delenda Odile) ; TASCHEN, 2020

Manet called him “the greatest painter of all. ” Picasso was so inspired by his masterpiece Las Meninas that he painted 44 variations of it. Francis Bacon painted a study of his portrait of Pope Innocent X. Monet and Renoir, Corot and Courbet, Degas and Dalн… for so many champions of art history, the ultimate sounding board was—and remains—Diego Rodrнguez de Silva y Velбzquez (1599–1660). First available as an XXL-sized volume, this accessible edition brings together Velбzquez’s complete works with a selection of enlarged details and photography of recently restored paintings, achieved through the joint initiative of TASCHEN and Wildenstein. The dazzling images are accompanied by insightful commentary from Josй Lуpez-Rey on Velбzquez’s interest in human life and his equal attention to all subjects, from an old woman frying eggs to a pope or king, as well as his commitment to color and light, which would influence the Impressionists over two centuries later.
