Exhibition: Diego Velázquez



We also visited the Diego Velázquez exhibition at the Viennese Kunsthistorisches Museum. Again this was a very crowded affair, understandable considering the artist's relevance and - the value of the displayed works. It is indeed a very extensive display of his works. And although his most famous painting, Las Meninas, was only included as a reproduction, there were plenty of "Infante" paintings to study and admire and, in my opinion, were the highlights of the display.


Of course, we also took a round through the museum's permanent collection, since they have some great work to find there, but most especially, because they have a good amount of paintings by one of my most favorite artists: Pieter Bruegel the Elder.
