Comparing Pablo Picassos And Diego Velazquezs Las Meninas

Page 1 of 2 ZOOM In this essay I will be comparing and contrasting Diego Velazquezs â€Å"Las meninas† and Pablo Picassos â€Å"Las meninas† which are two paintings with Diego Velazquez’s being the first to make it in the 1600’s. Comparing:Diego Velazquez’s painting and Pablo Picassos are the same because they both have very fine detail and how small the lines they made, made such an impact on the result and you can see that it clearly does. I say this because if you look at Picasso’s the streaks of the brush are shown in the girl’s hair and make it look much better than if he would have just painted the entire hair shapes in and filled them in. In Velazquez’s his attention to detail is shown in the dog and in the pictures behind†¦show more content†¦I say this because I said that Picasso’s had the woman making the girl big. In Velazquez’s the girl has the women also making her the center point. She couldn’t be thou gh if the she didn’t have the women helping her and â€Å"making† her. I say this because she looks like she has a lot of things going on just sitting down and she couldn’t do everything by herself so to look good she needs the helpers or women. This is why I think that these two paintings look similar in this topic and also could look different.Contrasting:The second thing that I think is different about these two paintings is that the girl in Picasso’s painting is living in poverty and she looks pretty when she is cleaned up. In Velazquez’s the girl is living a lush life and has servants doing her work and she is just a young girl. The reason I say this is because since Velazquez was the king’s painter he only painted things that looked expensive for the king and his family to see. In Picasso’s case he was just a really good painter and he painted things that everybody who had practically nothing could relate to and hope for. The la st thing that Picasso’s has is the act of making the girl seem like she is the representation of the earth. I say this because on the outside it looks pretty, but underneath she is a whole lot of bad.Comparing:The third thing that makes these two paintings
