Info on Diego Velazquez

[Julio]

:) Hello and good morning to all.

Since this is my first posting I want to send a heart felt hello from New York City, USA !!:thumbs-up:

I have been studing and researching the life and times of the great spanish painter, Diego Velazquez,for many years.

I would love to chat with anyone interested in continueing this search with me. Hopefully,someone who lives in Madrid. But it could be anyone.

Yes,I have been to Spain many times for vacation and to study this artist.

Hoping this is the start of another journey, adios. Julio

Pity you aren't in London, an exhibition of his works has just opened in the National Gallery, with paintings from around the world. The Prado musuem has lent about eight works, plus many more from various other galleries. It would be a great chance to see a lot of his works all together!

Thank you so much,Omeyas.

This has happen to me offen over the years. I do tried to attend as many as I can of this special exhibitions. The National Gallery in London is one of my favorite D.Velazquez resources. It has a beautiful collection of his paintings.

But thanks for the warning & Notice. And who knows, I might go anyway.

Adios, Julio

Welcome to the forums Julio,

It will be great if you could share with us any anecdotes of Velazquez's life and your favourite painting.
