La INCREÍBLE HISTORIA del ESCLAVO que se volvió Pintor || Juan de Pareja el ayudante de Velázquez

Hi, in this video I talk about the story of Juan de Pareja and how he gained his freedom. Juan de Pareja was Velázquez's assistant. He started as his slave, but after some time in his workshop and after learning to paint, he gained his freedom. Want to know how? I'll tell you in the video. Juan de Pareja was born in Seville or Antequera around 1610 and died in Madrid in 1670. Once he was free, he managed to paint some high-quality paintings, especially some portraits, in the style of Velázquez.
