Content

Many of the rest of Europe’s painters were heavily into the nude as an art form. The Spanish Inquisition was very much against this art form. This is the story of who the model might have been and the story of Velazquez’s rise to prominence and there is much to learn about the detailed history of the country.

There is much to glean from this book, narrated by Venus – really transports the reader to this period of Spanish history, art, politics and manners… – ArtMuse –
