Velázquez set himself apart from his contemporaries with his individual style and eye-catching portraits. During his career the Spanish artist created many portraits of the Spanish royal family, powerful European figures, and members of the lower class, as well as producing many genre paintings. His painting Las Meninas is regarded as his masterpiece.The first son of Felipe IV and Isabel de Bourbo...Velázquez's paintings are refreshingly simple, direct, and frank both in tone and execution. Stylistically, then, Velázquez is closer to Caravaggio or an early Annibale Carracci than he is to more flamboyant artists like Rubens or Bernini .Velázquez's style can be characterized by its simplicity, dignity, restrained palette, and loose, impressionistic brushstroke.
