Without question, one of the greatest oil portraits ever done.

Juan de Pareja was immortalized by the greatest portrait painter of all time. Painted in Rome, it shocked people for its realism, enhanced by the fact that Juan de Pareja was there when it was unveiled.

This particular painting by the great master painter (Velazquez) is haunting. I often go to the "Met" and will stay and stare at this painting for long periods of time. I agree 100% with Julie Mehretu's personal take on the painting.

Your insightful description of the work is compelling, Julie Mehretu, your words have moved me. I will share this work and your compelling description of the context with my classes. Language and the divine art of deeply noticing not only with your eyes but with your empathy compels one to linger. Thank you for sharing your insights and obviously genuine feelings for the work and the man.

What makes it so realistic is that it seems to capture his soul!

One of the most powerful portraits ever made, once you understand its context.

Looking at Juan de Pareja I feel literally like I am looking to myself in the mirror......we have the same facial features and unbelievably our life story sort of Merges to an extent.

thank you..a great personal reaction, a meditation if you will, from an artist about slavery, humanity, and talent.

Perhaps study Valázquez, figure out why he didn't 'paint it smooth' and what that might mean for the power of the painting. I'm curious, why would you, 'paint it smooth'?

"In another narrative Velázquez didn't, actually, want him to paint and he painted secretly without Velázquez's knowlege of it." - Julie Mehretu on Velázquez's Juan de Pareja
