Text in English. With a foreword by Guy Wildenstein. This newly-updated catalogue brings together Velazquez's complete works with a selection of enlarged details and brand-new photography of recently restored paintings, achieved through the joint initiative of Taschen and the Wildenstein Institute. The book's dazzling images are accompanied by insightful commentary from Jose Lopez-Rey on Velazquez's interest in human life and his equal attention to all subjects, from an old woman frying eggs to a pope or a king, as well as his commitment to colour and light, which would influence the Impressionists over two centuries later, amongst numerous other artists.
