"Esopo" (also known as "Aesop" or "The Fable of Aesop") is a celebrated oil painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, created circa 1639-1640. This work is part of a series of paintings depicting famous men of antiquity, commissioned for the Torre de la Parada, a hunting lodge of King Philip IV of Spain. The painting is currently housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid.

The artwork portrays the legendary Greek fabulist Aesop, known for his collection of fables, in a half-length format. Velázquez depicts Aesop as a common man, dressed in simple attire, which was a departure from the idealized representations of philosophers and men of letters typical of the period. The figure of Aesop is set against a dark background, with a contemplative expression that suggests wisdom and introspection. The use of chiaroscuro enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure and focuses the viewer's attention on the subject's face and hands.

"Esopo" is considered a masterful example of Velázquez's skill in capturing the human condition and his ability to convey psychological depth. The painting reflects the Baroque interest in realism and the portrayal of intellectual figures as accessible and human, rather than as distant and idealized. The work is also notable for its textural details, such as the rendering of Aesop's worn clothing and the tactile quality of his skin.

As one of Velázquez's important contributions to the genre of portraiture, "Esopo" has been extensively studied for its artistic and historical significance. It remains a testament to the artist's profound impact on the development of Western art and his enduring legacy as one of the greatest painters of the Spanish Golden Age.
