In this film Leah Kharibian investigates his paintings, both those in the Gallery and elsewhere, and attempts to explain this Spanish master's almost universal popularity.

Through this majestic work Kharibian surveys Velázquez's entire career, explaining how he came to make one of the great masterpieces of European painting.
