"Esopo" (also known as "Aesop") is a celebrated oil painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, created circa 1639-1640. This work is one of Velázquez's series of portraits of famous men, which includes other notable figures such as "El bufón don Sebastián de Morra" and "El bufón Calabacillas." These paintings were executed during Velázquez's second period in Madrid and reflect his mature style, characterized by a more subdued palette and a masterful handling of light and shadow.

The painting depicts Aesop, the ancient Greek fabulist and storyteller, traditionally credited with a collection of fables known as Aesop's Fables. In Velázquez's portrayal, Aesop is presented not as an idealized classical figure but as a common man of the 17th century. He is dressed in simple, rustic clothing, and his appearance is marked by a thoughtful, almost melancholic expression, suggesting the wisdom and experience of a life spent observing and interpreting human nature.

"Esopo" is renowned for its psychological depth and realism, with Velázquez's skillful brushwork capturing the textures of skin, hair, and fabric. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with a strong sense of volume and space. The painting's chiaroscuro imbues the scene with a dramatic intensity, highlighting the figure of Aesop against a dark, undefined background.

The artwork is part of the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and its contribution to the understanding of Velázquez's oeuvre. "Esopo" stands as a testament to Velázquez's ability to elevate portraiture to a form of profound and insightful character study, transcending the boundaries of time and place to capture the essence of human experience.
