"Exploring the Artistic Legacy of 1599-1660: A Glimpse into Velazquez's Masterpieces" Step back in time to the captivating era between 1599 and 1660, where artistic brilliance flourished under the skilled hands of renowned Spanish painter Diego Velazquez. One of his most celebrated works, "Rokeby Venus, " also known as "The Toilet of Venus, " transports us to a world of beauty and sensuality.
