Two themes unite them. The first concerns the changing relationship between Velázquez and his patron Philip IV, which provides a framework for Brown to interpret the painter's career. The centerpiece of this relationship is Veláquez's masterpiece, \u003ci\u003eLas Meninas\u003c\/i\u003e, and this painting is the subject of two essays. The second theme is the problem of attributions and the related issue of Velázquez's innovative technique. Since Velázquez was not a prolific painter, questions of authenticity become increasingly contentious. Brown considers this matter in its widest dimensions and participates in the debate about individual attributions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the Centro de Estudios Europa Hispánica\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300144938\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300144932\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Other Distribution\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/26\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.30w x 1.00d","brand":"Jonathan Brown","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47427381362943,"sku":"9780300144932","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_676f1bf3-ccc3-406c-b105-a746f8217409.jpg?v=1761579212","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/collected-writings-on-velzazquez-jonathan-brown-9780300144932","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
