Dresden's Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister holds 4 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.
