EL GRECO * AN AFTERNOON WITH A REBEL & A GENIUS



El Greco's art is so enigmatic and different from that of his contemporaries. 

 He had the forsight to blend a synthesis of the art from Byzantine culture together with Western elements of visual communications. 

His art spoke to the many different cultures and citizens of all social levels.

His artwork also is a reflection of his emotional struggles with married life, parenthood and the prevailing midieval social structure of authority. 

El Greco reaches out to us with messages and insights that keep us engaged and enlightened.

- DEAR KARLA -


"The lecture on El Greco was just as amazing .

I know little of this painter but you certainly brought him to life in your informative and lively lecture.

I look forward to adding to my knowledge 
of Spanish Masters as I attend other lectures. 

Keep up the good work Karla. 

You are certainly making a great contribution to our cultural life and understanding of Spain."

Velázquez 
(1599 - 1660)

LECTURE & SLIDESHOW OVERVIEW

Discover The Early Spanish Period 
through the visions and artworks of Velázquez



Hailed as Spain's "Greatest Baroque Artist and the Most Important Painter of the Golden Age"

Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez was born in Seville on June 6, 1599, the oldest of six children; both his parents were from the minor nobility.

As a student of art, Velázquez absorbed and blended the most popular contemporaneous styles of painting, derived, in part, from both Flemish and Italian realism.

As a master painter, Velázquez became an innovator of perspective, the rounded form, lighting and realism. He also became the curator of the Prado Museum in Madrid and we can today thank this genius for his knowledge of great art and his purchases he made on behalf of the museum and King Philip 1V.
