Las Meninas, Picasso museum Barcelona

This is the first large group composition in the series in which Picasso interpreted Velázquez’s "Las Meninas". He painted it the day after he made a sketch that anticipated some of its main features, such as the size of the figure of the painter or the centrality granted to the palace lodging master José Nieto. In his endeavour to create his own Meninas, the first comparison the artist seems to consider is the choice of format, which was vertical in Velázquez and horizontal in Picasso’s first version.
