Diego Velázquez began painting at a young age, likely starting his apprenticeship around 11 or 12 years old in Seville, Spain, under the guidance of Francisco de Herrera the Elder and later with Francisco Pacheco, who was both a painter and a theorist. His early exposure to the art world and rigorous training laid the foundation for his mastery of technique and style. By the age of 24, he gained recognition and moved to Madrid, where he became the court painter for King Philip IV, significantly advancing his career and influence in the art world.

Is there a story to the picture las meninas?
There's not a story, per se. Portraits of royal families were common, and Velazquez was Phillip's official court painter. The composition of the painting is unique. Instead of the family standing carefully posed, you have a little girl being entertained by her ladies-in-waiting, her nurse, her dwarves, and even her dog. But from Velasquez' point of view, Princess Margarita is not really the subject of the painting. (He'd be painting the back of her!) Instead, he's painting her parents (reflected in a mirror on the back wall) and she's watching them...which makes it look like she's watching us. Someone on the stairs is also observing. Velasquez included himself, too. The red cross on his chest represents a Royal Order. It hadn't been awarded to him at the time of the painting. He added it in later.
