Painting by John Everett Millais
A Souvenir of Velasquez is an 1868 oil painting by the British artist John Everett Millais. [1] [2] Featuring a portrait painting of a girl, it pays homage to the works of the Spanish Old Master Diego Velázquez particularly his portrait of the Infanta Margaret Theresa of Spain. Having made his name as a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Millais moved increasingly towards mainstream academic art. This painting’s expressive style reflects the development of Aestheticism and contrasts with the the Realism of his earliest works. Millais presented the painting to the Royal Academy of Arts as his diploma work following his election to full membership [3]
