Bruges's Groeningemuseum holds 3 works by Diego Velázquez (1599–1660) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Velázquez is the painter's painter — admired above all others by Manet, Sargent, and Francis Bacon — and seeing his work reveals why. His handling of paint is miraculous: up close, loose fluid passages of colour; at viewing distance, the most convincing figures in the history of painting.

Planning your visit to Bruges
Bruges is a small, walkable city — its main art institutions, including the Groeninge Museum and Memling in Sint-Jan, are all within the medieval centre. The Groeninge holds the finest collection of early Flemish primitives in the world. Most museums close on Mondays; a Bruges City Card is good value for multiple visits.
