EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Diego Velasquez's iconic masterpiece, "Las Meninas" painted in 1656. The painting depicts Infanta Margarita, the young daughter of King Philip IV and Queen Mariana of Spain, surrounded by her attendants or meninas. In this particular scene, two of the Queen's maids-of-honour, Maria Agustina Sarmiento and Isabel de Velasco, are seen attending to the princess. What makes this artwork even more intriguing is that Velasquez himself can be observed working on a large canvas within the painting. This self-portrait adds an extra layer of depth and introspection to an already complex composition. Currently housed at the Museo del Prado in Madrid, this piece is considered one of Velasquez's most significant works and a prime example of Baroque art. The attention to detail and use of color create a visually stunning image that transports viewers back to 17th-century Spain. The print captures not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind "Las Meninas". It offers us a glimpse into court life during Spain's Golden Age while highlighting themes such as power dynamics, artistic creation, and female roles within society. With its rich symbolism and masterful execution, "Las Meninas" continues to captivate audiences worldwide as it remains one of art history's most celebrated treasures.
