Diego Vel&aacute;zquez (1599-1660) is for many the greatest painter ever to have lived. His astonishing naturalism had an immediate and lasting impact on his contemporaries, inspiring both awe and fierce debate. Most of what we know about Vel&aacute;zquez&#8217;s life and incomparably successful career comes from these two biographies. Francisco Pacheco, a second rank painter, was Vel&aacute;zquez&#8217;s teacher and eventually father-in-law &#8211; possibly the closest relationship between a painter and his biographer in all art. <em>This Life<\/em>, part of Pacheco&#8217;s theoretical work, the <em>Art of Painting<\/em>, has never been translated before, and it reveals the scale of the challenge to traditional painting presented by Vel&aacute;zquez&#8217;s insurmountable talent. Antonio Palomino, the Spanish Vasari, was born just after Vel&aacute;zquez died, but knew many of the painter&#8217;s friends and colleagues. His biography, precise and detailed, is an incomparable source, but like Pacheco&#8217;s text, also tackles the aesthetic debate engendered by Vel&aacute;zquez&#8217;s choice of subject matter and style. Together these biographies give an excitingly close insight into the mind and world of a great painter. The introduction by Michael Jacobs situates these biographies in the context of Spain&#8217;s Golden Age, and the intellectual ferment in painting and in the theatre that lie behind Vel&aacute;zquez&#8217;s magic. The translations are by Nina Ayala Mallory, the leading scholar of Spanish artistic biographies. The volume is richly illustrated with 30 plates illustrating the full gamut of Vel&aacute;zquez&#8217;s work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Collected for the first time and in a new translation, the two most important contemporary accounts of the life and work of Vel&aacute;zquez.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":41982,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5568],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-41125","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-art","7":"author-by-author-antonio-palomino","8":"author-by-author-francisco-pacheco","9":"author-edited-by-michael-jacobs","10":"publisher-pallas-athene","11":"series-lives-of-the-artists","13":"first","14":"instock","15":"shipping-taxable","16":"purchasable","17":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Lives of Vel\u00e1zquez - ACC Art Books UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Title: Lives of Vel\u00e1zquez, Pages: 192 Pages, Publish Date: 6th Apr 2023, Author: Antonio Palomino, Francisco Pacheco, Edited by Michael Jacobs, ISBN: 9781843681670.
