VELÁZQUEZ: THE PLEASURE OF SEEING PAINTING

Preface by Jonathan Brown To know you have to see, and to see you have to look. As the art historian Ernst Gombrich proposes, we must learn ´to open our eyes, not to unleash tongues´. We must learn to see, with the eyes of the soul, the soul and the depth of the works of art. See and contemplate without hurry. This book, widely illustrated with images of great quality, invites us to recover the value of our inner look and reflect on the paths that the History of Art must follow to adapt to current and future times. In summary, a deep reflection on the painting of Velázquez and on the value of the look in the History of Art of the 21st century that will make lovers and professionals of the art world enjoy equally.
