胡安·德·帕雷哈（1606–1670年）

Velázquez (Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez) Spanish

1650年

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 625

这幅非凡的肖像画描绘了委拉斯开兹的摩尔人奴隶兼画室助手。在罗马画成的这幅作品于1650年3月在万神庙公开展出。委拉斯开兹显然希望以自己的艺术技巧给他的意大利同仁留下深刻印象。果不出他所料，如同委拉斯开兹的传记作者安东尼奥·帕洛米诺告诉我们的那样，这幅画“赢得无比一致的赞赏，以至于各国所有画家都认为，其它一切看起来都像画，只有这幅画看起来像真理。”委拉斯开兹不仅描绘出画中人的形体，也传达出他自豪的性格。这位奴隶后来也成了一位画家，并在1654年被委拉斯开兹释放。
