Velazquez’s Las Meninas (1656)is a portrait of Infanta Mar-garita, the daughter of King
Philip IV. This article focuses on theway Velazquez painted Infanta Mar-garita’s psychological perplexity infront of the large window of his studio.It also focuses on Infanta Margarita’sbeauty, her intelligence, and above allher interest in the beauty of the visibleworld!
I tried to explore the way works of artrepresent and reconstruct the visibleworld and the way Velazquez elevatedInfanta Margarita’s visit to his studiointo a masterpiece of art.
