Juan de Pareja (1606–1670)

1650
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 625
Este retrato extraordinário retrata o escravo mouro de Velázquez que o assistia em seu ateliê. Pintado em Roma, foi exposto ao público no Panteão em março de 1650. É óbvio que Velázquez queria impressionar seus colegas italianos: segundo seu biógrafo Antonio Palomino, a imagem “ganhou aclamação universal de tal forma que, na opinião de todos os pintores de diferentes nações, todas as outras pareciam pintura, mas esta parecia ser a única verdadeira”. Velázquez foi capaz de comunicar não só a presença física de Pareja (que dedicou-se à pintura depois de obter sua liberdade em 1654), como também o seu caráter orgulhoso.
