When viewers gaze upon Diego Velázquez’s Las Meninas (painted in 1656)‚ they can experience the avant-garde aura of its time as the Baroque painting displays both candidness and movement. In the way that Velázquez painted his work of art‚ Las Meninas can be classified as Baroque Naturalism (Stratton-Pruitt 5)‚ suggesting influence from Caravaggio who painted with realism and strong chiaroscuro (“light-dark” spotlighting tones).
