  • Diego Velázquez's "Las Meninas" (1656) is one of the most discussed paintings in European art history. It is therefore all the more surprising that the original circumstances of its display have hitherto not been the subject of research. A great deal of evidence suggests that the original display location of "Las Meninas" -the summer study of Philipp IV- and its setting in the context of the other paintings presented in this room allow an interpretation that goes beyond a "monadic" reading of the painting. According to this interpretation, the subject of "Las Meninas" becomes the safeguarding of the royal succession by the Infanta Margarita during a time of uncertain anticipation of a male heir.
