Las Meninas is one of the most famous paintings in the history of universal art, perhaps the 00:00:00
greatest work of Spanish art. 00:00:12
I must say that being from Madrid, this masterpiece has always been part of my life, and what 00:00:15
caught my attention since I was a child was… well, nothing really. 00:00:21
I used to wonder why people were so fascinated by a painting that, ok, is very, very, very 00:00:27
well-painted, but I didn't really see that there was anything special about it. 00:00:34
Years later, I realized that there were many artists who had been inspired by this work 00:00:41
to create their own. 00:00:46
Goya? 00:00:50
Picasso? 00:00:53
An American painter named George Singer-Sandjet? 00:00:56
There are comics and films that talk about Las Meninas. 00:00:59
And I also realized that Velázquez himself had his own influences. 00:01:06
So one day I visit the Prado Museum and, while standing in front of the painting, I return 00:01:12
to the question. 00:01:18
What is special about Las Meninas? 00:01:20
Then I notice the face of the painter staring at me, that seems to pierce me with his gaze. 00:01:24
I thought, why did the artist paint himself in the scene? 00:01:30
And if he's supposed to be the family of Philip Ford, where is the king? 00:01:36
It's supposed to be reflected in that fuzzy mirror in the background. 00:01:41
But I think that if I had been the king, I would have been very angry at Velázquez for not painting me properly. 00:01:45
Was he? 00:01:53
But what really continued to amaze me was the realism of the painting. 00:01:55
how magnificently well it was painted and its dimensions. Because due to the size, 00:01:59
it gives me the feeling that there is no painting there, but a hole in the world 00:02:06
that I can walk through. Can you imagine being able to walk inside the scene and 00:02:11
greet the characters? Pet that dog! Look at what Velázquez is painting. Because 00:02:17
What is he painting? Suddenly, I look at the composition from outside again, and I 00:02:23
thought that the canvas was precisely the size of Las Meninas itself. Did 00:02:32
Velázquez depict himself painting Las Meninas? Or was it another artwork, maybe 00:02:38
a painting of the king? Experts argue that Velázquez was painting a portrait 00:02:45
of Felipe IV and his wife, Mariana de Austria, when their daughter, Margarita, 00:02:50
boards into the room with her maids. The maids were called Meninas. And, if this 00:02:55
were true, then I would be standing right on the same spot as the king while 00:03:05
being painted by Velázquez and reflected in the mirror. And, if I could 00:03:10
travel in time, Velázquez would be painting me. Finally, I understood why Las 00:03:15
Meninas has fascinated so many scholars and artists along the centuries. It's a 00:03:22
painting that makes you ask yourself many questions. And the fact that it's so 00:03:29
exceptionally portrayed makes Velázquez the first creator of virtual reality and 00:03:35
the best painter of all time. 00:03:41
