Excellent- More about Juan de Pareja: Afro-Hispanic Painter in the Age of Velazquez

A groundbreaking exploration of a freedman painter that acknowledges the contributions of enslaved artists and artisans in seventeenth-century Spain, Diego Velázquez's renowned portrait of Juan de Pareja (circa 1608-1670) has long stood as a pivotal masterpiece of European art. However, this thought-provoking study delves deeper into its subject: an enslaved individual who achieved remarkable success as an artist. This comprehensive catalog, the first scholarly monograph dedicated to Pareja, explores the painter's connections to the Madrid School of the 1660s, challenging our previous understanding of artistic production during Spain's Golden Age. Through a focused examination of enslaved artists and artisans, the authors shed light on the skilled labor thriving within Sevilles diverse society, the significant role played by Black saints and confraternities in propagating Catholicism among enslaved populations, and the pioneering efforts of early twentieth-century scholar Arturo Schomburg to preserve Pareja's legacy. Additionally, this publication features the first illustrated and annotated list of known works attributed to Pareja, providing a valuable resource for art enthusiasts and scholars alike.
Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by Yale University Press, the exhibition of this remarkable work is scheduled to take place at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York from April 3 to July 16, 2023.
