1. Introduction: Last Tuesday, 26th April. We went to Canido to see “Las
Meninas” and this text is an english project, and in this text we are going to talk about Diego Velázquez and “Las Meninas de Canido.”
2. Biography Diego Velázquez: Diego Velazquez was born in Seville, Spain. June 6, 1599. His first paintings were religious themes, he became famous for his realistic and complex portraits as a member of King Philip IV’s court. In his later years the Spanish painter did portrait the famed “Las Meninas”. He died on August 6, 1660, in Madrid .
3. Meninas: Velázquez's Las Meninas is a 1656 painting, in the Museo del Prado in Madrid. Infanta Margarita has dropped in to see Velazquez at work. She stops right next to him, at the center of the foreground of the painting, but she seems perplexed. Velazquez’s technique of painting was inspired by Baroque.
4. Editorial: 4. a) Sergio Bellas “ Las Meninas de Canido” a great project
By: Sergio Bellas For me ” Las Meninas de Canido ” is a very good idea for Canido but Las Meninas is a project that does not like all people because the art is boring for many people, but it. is a very good idea to return. the live life to the neighborhood, now Canido is more beautiful and with much more colo u r and life. In my opinion, ‘Las Meninas’ are is in a bad condition because they are exposed to rain and wind.This is my favourite Menina, I like it By: Sergio Bellas because this Menina has a lot of colour and it has Eduardo Hermida’s the (boss) promoter of this project. 4. b) Carlos Maceiras
“THE MENINAS” by: Carlos Maceiras I think that it is very interesting that a neighbourhood that was in ruins, now it is a beautiful neighbourhood thanks to Eduardo Hermida that had the idea of the project. This is a fantastic idea because now Canido is a wonderful neighbourhood and I love urban art. My favourite Menina is this because it represents a Menina that is without clothes. By: Carlos Maceiras
