Composition of Las meninas de Velázquez
For who gauged light and shadow with a keener eye? Who more powerfully marked
distances and dimensions? Who applied colour more harmoniously, or more
delicately combined dyes and hues with their foundations? Of him it is said he
painted even what is unseen: even what not the eye, but the spirit sees.
F. Preciado de la Vega (1765),
letter to G.B. Ponfredi on Spanish painting
