CHAPTER XI Scarcity of drawings by Velazquez--Collections where they are to be found-- Only two engravings by Velazquez are known, one an etching and the other engraved by the 'burin'--The character of Velazquez, inferred from official, in the absence of more intimate documents--His relations with his fellow artists-- Memorandum of the pictures taken to the Monastery of the Escurial by Diego Velazquez--History of this memorandum; different opinions upon it; it must be considered apocryphal--Velazquez's journey to the Pyrenees on the occasion of the marriage of the Infanta Maria Teresa de Austria with Louis xiv.--His return to Madrid--Illness of Velazquez--His death on August 6th, ]66'0, at the age of sixty-one--Death of his wife Juana Pacheco--The sequestration of the possessions of Velazquez and their complete restoration six years afterwards--The best known pupils of Velazquez; his influence on his contemporaries. EVERY biographer of Velazquez, even at the present day, meets with two inexplicable gaps which are obstacles to the complete knowledge of the man and the artist; the first is the almost entire disappearance of his correspondence, as mentioned in Chapter vi.; and the second the surprising rarity of drawings and sketches by his hand. How is this to be explained? Can Velazquez have executed his pictures without the help of preliminary studies, or even a sketch of the composition? I am inclined to believe it, for even whilst admitting the carelessness of the majority of those who possessed his drawings, it is hardly probable that almost all could have gone astray.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Velazquez Was brought up in the worship of Velazquez. When quite young, I went to Madrid; and my father, on those brilliant days which are only to be seen in Spain, would take me sometimes to the Museum of the Prado, when we made many a long stay in the galleries devoted to Spanish Art. I always left them with a feeling of the deepest admiration for Velazquez. The Meninas, ' the Christ, ' the Lances, ' used to haunt my imagination. Later on, when I was allowed to attend the classes of the Academy of San Fernando, I found once more, among my young fellow-students, the same ardour of enthusiasm. Velazquez was our Deity. We knew his works by heart; how every hand, every head had been painted. Not even the smallest of the pentimenti, so common in his works, escaped us: and we never mentioned him except by referring to him in the most respectful manner by his Christian name as Don Diego, ' which, according to our way of thinking, meant The Master, ' The Master par excellence, ' just as Italians speak of Raphael' or Michel angelo.'
