A broad white collar with a ragged edge lies over an olive-grey jacket, and a cloak of the same colour falls behind one shoulder. One hand is tucked at his waist, set against a grey-green ground that glows faintly behind his head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVelázquez painted Juan de Pareja, an enslaved assistant in his workshop, in Rome in 1650, reportedly as practice before his portrait of Pope Innocent X. It was shown at the Pantheon that March, where, according to Palomino's biography, the painters praised it. The Metropolitan Museum of Art bought it in 1970, when it became the first painting to sell for more than one million pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: oil on canvas, 1650; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiego Velázquez (1599–1660) was a Spanish Baroque painter, born in Seville. He was apprenticed to Francisco Pacheco from 1611 and married Pacheco's daughter. In 1623 he moved to Madrid, where Philip IV made him court painter, and he remained in royal service for the rest of his life, with two journeys to Italy in 1629–31 and 1649–51. He painted portraits of the king, the royal family and servants, along with religious, mythological and historical subjects, among them The Surrender of Breda, the Rokeby Venus, a portrait of Pope Innocent X and Las Meninas (1656). His work is held by the Museo del Prado, the National Gallery, London and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is a giclée, printed to order.
