Diego Velázquez paintings in São Paulo

São Paulo's São Paulo Museum of Art holds 1 work 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.
