Description
What began as propaganda art to celebrate a rare Spanish victory in the Eighty Years' War with Holland, "The Surrender at Breda" is today recognized as Velazquez's narrative masterpiece. The author examines the paintings from which the artist arose, coaxing stories from them that flesh out a complete portrait of one of the world's major artists.
