Portrait of Philip IV
Workshop of Diego Velázquez

Baroque Painter · Active 1627 – 1627
Across 2 works held in Paintale's collection, Workshop of Diego Velázquez returns again and again to portrait, daily life — a range that gives a sense of what the Baroque period asked of its painters.
Where to see the work: Art Institute of Chicago.
The paintings by Workshop of Diego Velázquez gathered on Paintale span portrait, daily life, a set of concerns typical of an artist working through the Baroque period. Taken as a group, they show a consistent visual language rather than a series of unrelated commissions.
Museums now holding Workshop of Diego Velázquez's work include Art Institute of Chicago. On each painting's page here, we go beyond the caption to cover subject, symbolism, technique, and provenance — the context a modern viewer needs to see what the original audience saw.
