メトロポリタン美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (メトロポリタン美術館Instagram)「For Met staff member Lela Jenkins, this iconic portrait of Juan de Pareja brings her in touch with humanity: ⁣ ⁣ “Juan de Pareja is my favorite portrait at The Met because it reminds me of what it is like to see someone. When I look at a person, not all of them is in focus at once, but their eyes are. Velázquez rendered Juan de Pareja and his eyes with such depth and dignity that it makes me truly feel I am looking at a person."⁣ ⁣ While Juan de Pareja was the subject of this iconic painting by Diego Velázquez, he was also a prolific artist himself in the 17th century. The Afro-Hispanic painter was enslaved in Velázquez’s studio for more than two decades before becoming an artist in his own right.⁣ ⁣ See this portrait and works by Pareja in "Juan de Pareja, Afro-Hispanic Painter," on view through July 16. #MetPareja ⁣ ⁣ What portrait speaks to you?
