With delicate brushstrokes and soft lighting effects, Velazquez creates an atmosphere that exudes sensuality, not limited to portraits; he also excelled at capturing scenes filled with action and drama. In "The Forge of Vulcan" from 1630, he presents us with an intense moment from Greek mythology where gods forge weapons for war.
