Diego Angulo Íñiguez (1901-1986) has long been the art historian most often hailed as a 'master', both in Spain and Latin America. This can be explained not only by his work in teaching and his decisive contrib utions to the study of Spanish and Latin American art history, but als o by the posts and jobs he held in leading institutions devoted to art historical research and dissemination: director of the Instituto Dieg o Velázquez (CSIC) and its journal Archivo Español de Arte, director o f the Museo del Prado and director of the Real Academia de la Historia , among others.This book is the first to draw together all Diego Angul oÆs dispersed studies on Velázquez: articles, essays, brief notes, pro logues and reviews of books and exhibitions on Velázquez. Published th roughout four decades, these thirty-seven texts clearly attest to his deep background and outstanding ability to conduct formal and iconogra phic analyses.
