Jonathan Brown's name is inextricably linked to Diego Velázquez, and that work, so solid and popular for years, sometimes overshadows other interests of the author, ranging from collecting to sharp insights on El Greco or Murillo; the study of the changes in the history of mentalities brought about by the arrival in the "New World"; the relations between Spanish and American production in colonial times and the numerous implications of that change in the patronage itself. But Brown has also written about Goya, about Picasso, about the painting of these other new great masters. The present volume, "Not just Velázquez", thus attempts to present the author's output beyond the Baroque painter, bringing together other essential themes in Jonathan Brown's fertile intellectual discourse. With his concise and elegant style, he interrogates the paintings without ever losing sight of the object and, at the same time, he questions the paintings themselves and their traces as changes in the world.
