to think juan de Pareja was a "warm up" to Innocent X because before doing the Pope, Velazquez had not done portraits in a while.
Mike, yes, "Las Meninas". Someone called it the Theology of Painting. Volumes have been written about this particular work, analyzed right down to the ground used on the linen--the red Cross of the Order of Santiago, the faces of the monarchs reflected in the mirror and all sorts of other comentaries. But what amazes me is the painter
