Alternatively, every video has a "thanks" button under it- I appreciate it!Las Meninas, Diego Velázquez’s portrait of a Spanish princess and her entourage is one of, if not the most widely discussed paintings in western painting. Every viewing raises more questions, and every answer is followed by a dense network of meanings.
It is not only a high point of realism in painting, a perfect life-like depiction of the Spanish court - it is also a complex meditation on painting itself. It’s a spell-binding work that is concerned with how we view a painting, and how the subjects in a painting view us.
