''Las Lanzas'', also known as ''The Surrender of Breda'' or ''La Rendición de Breda'', is a masterful painting by the Spanish Golden Age artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, completed between 1634 and 1635. Commissioned by King Philip IV of Spain for the Hall of Realms in the Buen Retiro Palace in Madrid, the painting is a historical depiction of a significant event during the Eighty Years' War between Spain and the Dutch Republic.

The painting, measuring 307 cm by 367 cm (121 in by 144 in), captures the moment of the surrender of the Dutch city of Breda to Spanish forces, led by Genoese nobleman Ambrogio Spinola, in 1625. Velázquez's composition is notable for its dignified portrayal of both the victors and the vanquished, avoiding the glorification of war and instead emphasizing chivalry and respect. The central figures are Justin of Nassau, handing over the key of the city, and Spinola, who is shown accepting the surrender with a gesture of magnanimity.

Velázquez's use of perspective and the positioning of the figures lead the viewer's eye towards the central action, while the background features a detailed and atmospheric landscape. The title ''Las Lanzas'' stems from the prominent array of spears held by the soldiers, which creates a rhythmic verticality and adds to the grandeur of the scene.

The painting is celebrated for its realism, the subtle interplay of light and shadow, and the psychological depth with which Velázquez imbues his subjects. ''Las Lanzas'' is not only a historical record but also a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the human condition and the complexities of military and political power. Today, the work is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid and remains one of Velázquez's most renowned and studied paintings, exemplifying his status as one of the preeminent figures of Western art history.
