El Sueño de la Menina (A Menina's dream)

    Tribute to Diego Velazquez

    Las Meninas (Spanish for The Maids of Honour) is a painting by Diego Velázquez, the leading artist of the Spanish Golden Age. The work’s complex and enigmatic composition raises questions about reality and illusion, and creates an uncertain relationship between the viewer and the figures depicted.

      This is a very good idea! you have given a very interesting interpretation of the famous painting and the baby is really similar to the 'infanta Margarita'.
      Really beautiful!

      She definitely looks like the little princess Margarita Teresa. Las Meninas is one of my favorite paintings and this is a spectacular homage!

      fantastic shot, it looks like a photograph with incredibly good light, I know it is a photograph, but of a painting... well done! ...actually now I've realized that it is not a photo of a painting but a photo of a real girl, even better than the original...

      That is really creative. Nice hybrid of one of my favorite paintings. Velázquez would be happy and amazed with what you have done.
