More about Las Meninas
The painting shows a slice of life in the court of King Philip IV of Spain. The artist has painted himself into the painting, working on a portrait, and looking towards the viewer. Another interesting detail is the reflection in the mirror of the king and queen, and it remains unclear whether the reflection is showing them to be standing in the same spot as the viewer, or if it is a reflection of the painting on which Diego is working.
Other detail includes the queens chamberlain (back right) and possible relative of the artist. The more you look, the more you will see.
Diego Velázquez is regarded as the leading artist of the Spanish Golden age, and this his most impressive and important work. It hangs in the Museo Nacional Del Prado.

$194.00 – $1,076.00A Rembrandt is a must-have in any personal collection – he was one of the greatest painters and printmakers in Europe, and the most significant in Dutch history.
If you love detailed paintings, Belshazzar’s Feast is a great example. The artist used distinctive features on the main character – from his gold and silver costume, to the chains and turban as adornments. The supporting characters lack the same extravagance, but the details on their clothing and headpieces and the objects on the table contribute to the story.
This a great conversation piece especially among art lovers who are fascinated by paintings that tell a story and convey emotions.Select optionsQuick View
