The battle pieces of Michael Angelo, Da Vinci, and Titian are destroyed; Las Lanzas remains a testimony to the powers of imaginative reconstruction and architectonic of Velasquez. It is the most complete, the most natural picture in the world.
Is it only a trick of the wrist, a deft blending of colours by this artist, who has been called, wrongfully the "Shakespeare of the brush"? Is all this nothing more than "distinguished"? Mr. Ricketts justly calls Las Lanzas the unique historic picture.
The pastoral peace that hovers like a golden benison about Giorgione's Concert at the Louvre, the slow, widowed smile of the Mona Lisa, the cross-rhythms of Las Lanzas, most magnificent of battle-pieces, in the Velasquez Sala at the Prado, even the processional poplars of Hobbema at the National Gallery, or the clear cool daylight which filters through the window of the Dresden Vermeer these and others do not always give me the buoyant sense of self-liberation which great art should.
