Astisendo Grupo Editorial Las Meninas Comic. For centuries, the painting depicting the family of Philip IV has been the center of attraction at the Prado Museum and has inspired artists and writers, becoming a true cultural icon.However, Diego Velázquez is one of the most mysterious painters of his time, and Las Meninas, his masterpiece, the pinnacle of Spanish Baroque painting, is perhaps also the strangest of the great paintings of Western art.After a lifetime at court in the service of Philip IV, Velázquez was finally knighted in 1658, achieving a dignity unusual for a painter at that time.Around this act of courtly ennoblement, Santiago García and Javier Olivares build in the graphic novel Las Meninas a far-reaching fantasy inspired by historical events.Through its pages pass figures ranging from the Count-Duke of Olivares to Foucault, from El Greco to Buero Vallejo.This is not only the story of a work of art, but the story of how a work of art becomes a symbol.And in the end, also, a new attempt to answer the question that generations of artists, historians, scholars, and enthusiasts have asked:What is the secret of Las Meninas? A secret hidden in plain sight.After this intelligent deconstruction of the figure of Diego Velázquez, we will never again look at his masterpiece, Las Meninas, in the same way.Paco Roca. tradeinn Techinn
