Velazquez: A Study Of His Life And Art by Walter Armstrong is a comprehensive examination of the life and works of the Spanish painter Diego Velazquez. The book explores Velazquez's early years in Seville, his apprenticeship with Francisco Pacheco, and his rise to prominence in the court of King Philip IV of Spain. Armstrong delves into Velazquez's artistic style, discussing his use of light, color, and composition in his most famous works, such as Las Meninas and The Surrender of Breda. The book also provides insight into the political and social climate of 17th century Spain, and how these factors influenced Velazquez's art. With numerous illustrations and reproductions of Velazquez's paintings, Velazquez: A Study Of His Life And Art is an essential read for anyone interested in the life and works of this great master of the Baroque era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
