im writing a character sketch for a class with the topic being anyone, anything, or anywhere. i chose diego velasquez. no regrets. reading this man's biography has me impressed. i mean this guy married his master's daughter, became a court painter for the king of spain after the previous one died, and continued painting common folk and slaves even when he was criticized for it. and put himself in the same painting where he painted the king's daughter. wow
