Las Meninas, Diego Velázquez’s portrait of a Spanish princess and her entourage is one of, if not the most widely discussed paintings in western painting. Every viewing raises more questions, and every answer is followed by a dense network of meanings.
It is not only a high point of realism in painting, a perfect life-like depiction of the Spanish court - it is also a complex meditation on painting itself. It’s a spell-binding work that is concerned with how we view a painting, and how the subjects in a painting view us.

One of my favourite ways to quietly start a Saturday is to brew some coffee, pet a cat, then to be absorbed into a new video from GAE while I sip my coffee and energize for the day. It is a tradition which is dependent on the release of your new videos, or on my forgetting enough of an old one to require another viewing. It energizes me both intellectually and spiritually for the whole day, your attention to detail in unveiling all relevant aspects of a work from the mundane to the majestic. This series has helped me to deepen my appreciation of all art, of the world around me, and to see a secret beauty in anything my eyes can observe. I thank the whole team of GAE for enriching my life.

When Dali was asked by a journalist what he would save in case of a fire in El Prado museum, he answered: "the air contained in Las Meninas". You really get the illusion of perceiving the dust particles floating in the air. If you turn the painting around you can see how much space Velazquez dedicates to capturing that "air". As a madrilian, I feel lucky to enjoy this painting often. Many thanks for the video, it is a masterclass indeed!

First visited the Prado as an 18 year old in 1973. The Spanish family I was staying with gave me an overview of Las Meninas and I have always been fascinated by the painting and Velazquez. It was obviously a source of pride to them and a part of the Spanish consciousness. I am so happy that I had the opportunity to see it without the hordes of tourists that are everywhere now and in my memory, it was quite an intimate viewing. Thank you for your research. I'll now watch it again!

A fantastic doc thanks for doing it!! I can’t wrap my head around how Velasquez could start with a blank canvas, paint without sketches, alla prima, and yet it results in something like ‘the crook of his arm being the exact vanishing point”. What a genius! I never get tired of learning more about Velasquez - awesome work thanks for everything you post!

The notion of "picture within a picture" in these paintings immediately reminds me of the Baroque of literature. The complex structure and Art as Play, the allegorical nature of the works, their concerns of the human destiny, these are all shared in the two fields and precursory to what are considered modern art.

@jeff__w 2 месяца назад

Of course, both things are probably true: King Philip IV and María de Austria could be both in the room and the subject of the enormous painting by Diego Velázquez-the only question then is what is the mirror reflecting, the painting or the actual people? (Maybe that’s what you meant.) I _do_ agree with you, actually-Velázquez isn’t painting _us,_ obviously. It just makes sense that the king and queen are there. (And it’s not like mirrors in paintings have to obey the laws of physics-Vermeer’s _The Music Lesson_ famously didn’t, perhaps for more overtly “psychological” reasons.) Another dazzling video, James! The explanation of “implicit space” and the use of graphics to illustrate that just nails it and is very satisfying for that reason. I can’t imagine that any of the “meta-” aspects of the painting were entirely lost on the king and queen and the court-they weren’t idiots. It had to have given them a _frisson_ of delight to get, even if a bit unconsciously, that the painting _was_ “a painting about painting” (arguably the first) and that they _were_ in the painting-and they could just enjoy it.

my headcanon is that Velazquez painted this as a personal gift to the king, and the king is supposed to look at this painting and feel like he is looking at those people in real life. It's as if the king held a camera and captured that moment in time, and it's something that he'll look back on with nostalgia over the years, similar to how we look at old photos.

I visited Museo Del Prado last year, it was the reason I travelled to Madrid...I had this incredible piece of work on my list (as well as The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch, and Goya's Dark/Black Paintings, to name a few) Prado has to be experienced, it was one of the most amazing Museums I have ever been to, so well curated and organised. The way they displayed Goya's Dark paintings gave me chills, I almost cried....something none of my friends understand, haha. Las Meninas lived up to the hype for me, it was awe inspiring to stand in front of this painting and take it all in, especially given the perspective, ambiguous nature and ultimately what Velazquez was trying to infer. I took a long time with this painting, and revisited it before I left (do this with paintings that instantly grab me, I revisit them at the end of the day after seeing everything else). I took a tour with a Prado Guide and they gave great insight. Seeing it up close was thrilling. Thank you for sharing your expertise and knowledge with us here on You Tube, truly grateful for all of the work you put in.

Beautiful. So often we think of "scandal" in connection with famous artists (at least I do, new as I am to learning about art history in any sense). But it's obvious that here is a man of immense integrity, and perhaps as surprising - the king who was also his friend had just as much integrity in regards to their relationship. I'd never heard of this painter or this painting before this video, but it is most certainly one of the most wholesome pieces of history I've learned about this year.
