Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Velazquez an Account of His Life and Works
But although the last word on Velazquez has probably been uttered, there are many to whom his pictures are still not truly known. The fact that he is the painters' painter has been insisted upon so strongly that some have been deluded into the belief that his art appeals exclusively to artists. It is unquestionably true that those who understand the technique of painting, can appreciate best the supreme quality Of the master's work, but all lovers of beautiful things can learn to see and delight in the special charm of his pictures.
