• In the 17th century, there was not photos or cameras. Painting was the portraits people had.
Velazquez was very good in portraits.He travelled to Italy and make a portrait of the POPE Inocencio X.

• One day Velazquez was working in his studio when the princess and her dames came in. Then the King and Queen came to see Velazquez’s works.
• In that moment he painted his MASTERPIECE:
• LAS MENINAS or “ THE MAIDS OF HONORS” in English.
