¡Feliz Cumpleaños, Diego Velázquez!
AKA Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez.
Baptised June 6, 1599. Died August 6, 1660.
He was a famous Spanish painter who depicted himself as the artist within the above painting. (Said painting is known as Las Meninas or The Maids of Honour.) He is also famous for such paintings as Las Hilanderas (aka The Spinners)...
...and The Rokeby Venus (aka La Venus del Espejo aka The Venus of the Mirror).
As you might guess, he is one of my favorite painters.
