Biography:
Born into a prominent family as Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Velázquez, he originally studied philosophy and language to become a lawyer like his father. However, his talent for drawing encouraged his career in art and he studied under Herera and Pacheco. After marrying the latter's daughter in 1618, Velázquez moved to Madrid and abandoned his subdued domestic subjects for a more color palette that he applied to portraiture. He was the leading court painter for the Spanish nobility, although his reputation did not extend outside of Spain.
