This catalogue is a worthy companion to such an extraordinary event. Elegant and substantive essays by Antonio Domínguez Ortiz and Alfonso E. Pérez Sánchez examine the world of seventeenth-century Spain and the path that Velázquez followed in his courtly and artistic career. Julián Gállego has contributed important assessments of each of the pictures in the exhibition. A wealth of comparative illustrations shows all of Velázquez's major works and presents representative paintings by his contemporaries. Both the generalist and the specialist will find much of interest, and all will be elevated by their study of such a distinguished and satisfying painter.

Antonio Domíguez Ortiz, one of the world's foremost scholars of seventeenth-century Spanish history, is a member of the Real Academia de Historia in Madrid; Alfonso E. Pérez Sánchez is Director of the Museo del Prado; and Julián Gállego is Professor Emeritus of the University of Madrid and a member of the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid.
