Las Meninas (The Maids of Honor)I had to do one more Valezquez post, to point out this painting, on display at El Prado in Madrid. Here's what the museum's website has to say about this piece: This painting is considered one of the worlds greatest works of art, the secret is in creating something revealing in an everyday scene. The painter of "the air" reflects his own workday: in the mirror on the far wall is the reflection of the King and Queen , which is the theme of the painting he is working on, the Princess is looking at her parents, surrounded by her aids and the loyal family dog near by.
Question:
Is the gentleman in the doorway entering the room or exiting it?
