Like any other catholic, Diego Velázquez would have known very well about the Spanish Inquisition which contains no possible mention of the Jewish Kabala, though, some of his most important works do contains Jewish symbols, letters and phrases.
The inherent question, for example, in Las Meninas ( the absolute masterpiece of Velázquez ) is best exemplified by the important query: Why would the artist hide the Kabala and allow us to think about something else such as an elegant family portrait?
Until the Alcázar’s fire Las Meninas was kept on the wall in the bureau of the palace, where the king commanded a whole world, not only would such a place be ill-suited for subversive art, given that it was never viewed by the public until the beginning of the 19th century.
Put the explanations of this canvas that you have heard out of your mind and check the analysis of the painting called Las Meninas from an innovative point of view . As a matter of fact, Las Meninas of Velazquez is the most valuable masterpiece of Prado Museum but also the most misterious one.
Your guide will be Mr. Nacho Benjumea, author of ''the Mistery of Las Meninas''
