• Resumen

  • A discussion of two early-17th-century paintings by Diego Velásquez: Kitchen Scene with Christ's Visit to Martha and Mary (National Gallery, London) and Serving Maid with the Supper at Emmaus (National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin). The writer examines how Velásquez applied certain narrative devices that were already present in Spanish painting. She considers the nature of the lesson being presented by the older woman in the Kitchen Scene, the identity of the two women in the “kitchen,” and the nature of their interaction.
