1-Introduct​ ion

This English project is about “Las Meninas of Canido”. They are an adaption from Diego Velazquez ´s, but in Ferrol they are painted on the walls.

2-Velázquez biography

Spanish painter Diego Velázquez was born circa June 6, 1599, in Seville, Spain.

Although his early paintings were religious­themed, he became renowned for his realistic, complex portraits as a member of King Philip IV's court. In his later years, the Spanish master produced a renowned portrait of Pope Innocent X and the famed "Las Meninas." He died on August 6, 1660, in Madrid.

3-meninas Las Meninas is an oil painting by the Spanish painter Diego Velázquez. The painting hangs in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, the capital of Spain. It was painted in 1656.

The word “Menina” means “lady­in­waiting” or “Maid of Honour”, i.e. a girl who serves in a royal court. There are a lot of details in the painting, and more has been written about it than about almost any other Western painting because it is quite complicated.

4-Editorial ​ ​ 4.a Andrea A great visit To visit ``Las Meninas de Canido´´was fantastic because it is beautiful to see the neighbourhood painted with those paintings.
