Velazquez's painting the Rokeby Venus (also known as The Toilet of Venus, Venus at her Mirror, Venus and Cupid). Terrible tragedy when the painting was slashed with a meat cleaver in 1914 but successfully repaired and restored. #valazquez #venus #venuscupid #art #arthistory Photo by Heinz Schumi (C) All Rights Reserved 2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CDettDxgswm/?igshid=19mq1ovue8e7c

My take, on Picasso's take, on Velazquez Las Meninas #picasso #valazquez #lasmeninas #sketch #graphite #drawing #illustration #illustrator #spain #moleskine (at Barcelona, Spain)

Why Las Meninas is the greatest art of all time? 

“ What is a life? A frenzy. What is life? A shadow, an illusion, and a sham. The greatest good is small; all life, it seems Is just a dream, and even dreams are dreams.”

de la Barca’s Life is a Dream

Today my roommate and I learned the origins of the me gusta face...

you know this:

So we are in our Baroque Art class discussing this painting by Valazquez, its called The Maids of Honor 

and we were discussing how this work of art inspired other spanish painters such as Picasso, she then showed us this 

I see the family resemblance. Me gusta.
