Diego Velazquez is a famous Spanish Baroque artist who produced high quality oil paintings throughout the 17th century. As was common for the time, Velazquez produced mainly portrait paintings. Velazquez best known portrait paintings were of the Spanish royal family plus other key subjects from all around Europe. His best known painting remains Las Meninas with other notable works including Rokeby Venus "La Venus del espejo" and The Surrender of Breda "La Rendición de Breda". Despite producing his work so long ago, Velazquez still managed to become an inspiration for many more contemporary artists such as those involved in Realism and Impressionism. Many artists have also featured his work one way or another in their own careers, including the likes of Picasso and Dali to name just two.

Las Meninas remains his best known painting from a distinguished career. Produced just a few years before his death, it represents an example of the culmination of all he had learnt and experienced throughout his career. Las Merinas remains an important topic for study for any young budding artist and is a figurehead for the whole Baroque art movement, as it's creator is as well.

Whilst Impressionists and Realists were both influenced by the works of this great artist, Edouard Manet is seen by some as the link between these two art movements. Interestingly, Manet himself was also a great fan of the works of this 17th century artist, particuarly enjoying Velázquez's use of colour and creativeness against a backdrop of the academic status quo in Baroque art at that time.

Recent paintings inspired by the works of Diego Velazquez paintings have included many different styles of art all across the globe. Francis Bacon produced several expressionist variations on Velazquez's original portrait entitled Pope Innocent X, which Bacon viewed as one of the most impressive portrait paintings of all time. Dali and Picasso also felt great passion for Velazquez's works and produced the likes of Velázquez Painting the Infanta Margarita With the Lights and Shadows of His Own Glory and Las Meninas (in many different styles) respectively.

Velazquez paintings can be found all over the world in key galleries and museums such as Museo del Prado, Madrid, São Paulo Museum of Art, Sao Paulo, National Gallery, Edinburgh, National Gallery, London and Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg. Descendants from Diego and the Velazquez family have included Queen Sofía of Spain, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, King Albert II of Belgium, Hans-Adam II, Prince of Liechtenstein, and Henri, Grand Duke of Luxembourg.
