This piece was originally commissioned by the Spanish
government and intended to depict the suffering of war and
ultimately stand as a symbol of peace. The canvas was kept for
a long time at the MoMA in New York, according to the
painter's wish, and returned to Spain in 1981.

It is one of the largest works by painter Diego Velazquez, the
Spanish artist of the Golden Age. “In Las Meninas he put the
greatest effort to create a composition that is both complex and
believable, that would convey the sensation of life and reality
and at the same time enclose a dense network of meanings”
they say.
