"Las Meninas" is a renowned masterpiece by the Spanish painter Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, who is considered one of the most important artists of the Spanish Golden Age. Painted in 1656, this complex and enigmatic work is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid. The painting's dimensions are 318 cm × 276 cm (125.2 in × 108.7 in), making it one of the largest canvases Velázquez painted.

The title "Las Meninas" translates to "The Ladies-in-Waiting" and refers to the central group of figures in the composition. The painting depicts a scene from the daily life of the Spanish court, specifically in the quarters of Infanta Margarita Teresa, the daughter of King Philip IV of Spain. The infanta is surrounded by her entourage, including her ladies-in-waiting, a chaperone, a bodyguard, two dwarfs, and a dog. In a stunning display of meta-narrative, Velázquez himself is portrayed to the left of the scene, standing before a large canvas, seemingly in the act of painting.

One of the most striking features of "Las Meninas" is its complex use of perspective and light, which creates a sense of depth and realism that was revolutionary for its time. The artist's sophisticated handling of the mirror in the background, reflecting the images of the king and queen, adds another layer of spatial and psychological intrigue to the composition.

"Las Meninas" has been the subject of extensive critical analysis and interpretation, with scholars debating the painting's meaning and the artist's intentions. It has been read as a commentary on the nature of illusion and reality, the interplay of the viewer and the viewed, and the status of the artist within the court and society at large.

The painting's influence extends beyond the realm of art history; it has been referenced and reinterpreted in numerous works of literature, film, and other artistic media. "Las Meninas" remains a pivotal work in the Western art canon, celebrated for its technical virtuosity, its rich layers of meaning, and its profound impact on the development of Western painting.
