Around 1957, a famous spanish painter, Pablo Picasso, made over 50 renditions of Las Meninas. There are many small and big similarities as well as differences.One of the easiest seen similarities between these two painting are the infantas, or princesses. Another smaller but noticeable similarity is that maid helping the princess get ready or clean up. The maids in both paintings seem to be watching, helps or talking to the princess.

Diego Velázquez’s style is more realistic than Picasso’s because Picasso uses an art style called cubism. Another huge difference between these paintings are the main topics. In Pablo Picasso’s painting he enlarged the princess possibly implying that she is the main topic. But in Diego Velázquez’s painting, he has multiple maids and only one princess. One other huge difference is the background. In Pablo’s he just has a plain black and brown background but in Diego Velázquez’s his is a room with paintings and a door. The last but smaller difference is that there is no self portrait.Diego Velázquez could have tried to portray many different things. But I think that Diego Velázquez was trying to portray that the princess is always taking her time and that she has people that care for her and want to help you. I also think that Diego Velázquez created this painting because he was requested. This is only a theory but I think this because he was a royal artists who works for the king.

In the image Madonna with the Long Neck and Madonna in the Meadow, the artists do have a lot of similarities and differences within the images, even though they were created around different times. One of the many similarities within the images are that they were created within the same era. The painting by Parmigianino was created between the years 1535-40, while the painting by Raphael was created in 1506, so the resemblance would be that they are both around the same timeline. Another resemblance would be the oil painting technique in the two paintings, that embodies that in both of the paintings they were going through a loving and caring time, but with different settings.

Picasso strays from depicting reality in the sense that the picture would be recognizable in the natural world, but instead Picasso represents reality with his subjective lens. Similar to the previous two paintings I have discussed, this painting engages and challenges the audience to understand a piece of art that has a multi-faceted meaning. At first it appears like chaotic figures with no real sense of direction. There is no central focus point and the viewer’s eyes scan the entire canvas searching for a logical story.
