''The Buffoon Pablo de Valladolid'' is a notable painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, created between 1636 and 1637. This work is a portrait of Pablo de Valladolid, a court jester in the service of King Philip IV of Spain. The painting is renowned for its innovative composition and the illusion of movement it conveys, which was a significant departure from the static portraiture of the time.

Velázquez, who served as the leading artist at the Spanish court, was known for his masterful technique and his ability to capture the psychological complexity of his subjects. In ''The Buffoon Pablo de Valladolid'', he employs a stark, undefined background that focuses the viewer's attention on the figure of the jester. The lack of spatial context in the painting is a deliberate choice that enhances the sense of immediacy and presence of the subject.

The jester is depicted in mid-performance, with a dynamic posture and an expressive gesture that suggests he is speaking or acting. The use of chiaroscuro—strong contrasts between light and dark—adds to the dramatic effect and highlights the textures of the jester's clothing and the liveliness of his expression.

Measuring 209 cm × 123 cm, the painting is part of the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic innovation and insight into 17th-century Spanish court life. ''The Buffoon Pablo de Valladolid'' is considered one of Velázquez's most important works, reflecting his skill in capturing the human figure and his contribution to the Baroque period of art.

The painting has been analyzed extensively by art historians and is often cited as an example of Velázquez's ability to blend realism with a sophisticated understanding of human nature. It remains a significant piece in the history of Western art, offering a glimpse into the world of the Spanish Golden Age and the complex social roles within the Habsburg court.
