DESCRIPTION:
Monet and Renoir, Corot and Courbet, Degas and Dalí…for so many champions of art history, the ultimate soundboard was—and remains—Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez (1599-1660). The book's dazzling images are accompanied by insightful commentary from José López-Rey on Velázquez's interest in human life and his equal attention to all subjects, from an old woman frying eggs to a pope or king, as well as his commitment to color and light, which would influence the Impressionists over two centuries later.. Francis Bacon painted a study of his portrait of Pope Innocent X. The painter's painter: Light, color and penetrating portraits from Spain's Golden Age luminary Manet called him “the greatest painter of all.” Picasso was so inspired by his masterpiece Las Meninas that he painted 44 variations of it. This updated catalog raisonné brings together Velázquez’s complete works, jaw-droppingly reproduced in extra-large format, with a selection of enlarged detailsand brand new photography of recently restored paintings, achieved through the joint initiative of TASCHEN and Wildenstein

Taschen Scores Again Taschen scores again. I have many in the "complete Works" series and they are all great.. "Another wonderful taschen book" according to Howard Garrett. It's a beautiful book. But all XL Taschen books are bautiful. "Absolutely fabulous! I can see all the detail I" according to C. Schmitz. Absolutely fabulous! I can see all the detail I have longed to see for many years. I've never seen the originals, so I can't vouch for any color accuracy, but for me it's the texture, drawing, and the handling of the brush that are most important.
