As Philip IV’s court painter, Diego Velázquez painted many royal portraits, notably Las meninas (1656). Yet he was also known for popularizing the bodegón, or kitchen scene, in such early works as An Old Woman Cooking Eggs (1618). Other famous pieces include his portraits of Pope Innocent X (c. 1650) and Juan de Pareja (1650).
