"The Surrender of Breda" (Spanish: "La rendición de Breda"), also known as "Las Lanzas" (The Lances), is a masterful painting by the Spanish Golden Age artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez. Completed around 1634–1635, the painting is one of Velázquez's most famous works and a seminal piece of 17th-century Baroque art. It is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain.

The painting depicts a historical event from the Eighty Years' War, specifically the handing over of Breda from the Dutch to the Spanish. The scene captures the moment of capitulation in 1625, when the Dutch city of Breda surrendered to the Spanish general Ambrosio Spinola after a prolonged siege. Velázquez's composition is notable for its dignified portrayal of both the victors and the vanquished, avoiding the glorification of war and instead emphasizing the themes of honor and chivalry.

Measuring 307 cm by 367 cm, "The Surrender of Breda" is a large-scale oil on canvas that showcases Velázquez's skill in rendering detail, texture, and perspective. The painting is particularly renowned for its realistic depiction of the individuals involved in the surrender, including the central figures of Justin of Nassau, the defeated Dutch commander, and Spinola, who is shown magnanimously receiving the keys to the city.

Velázquez's use of space and the arrangement of the figures create a dramatic yet balanced composition. The lances in the background, which give the painting its alternative name, form a striking diagonal line that adds to the sense of depth and grandeur. The work is a testament to Velázquez's mastery of light and shadow, as well as his ability to convey complex human emotions and interactions through his art.

"The Surrender of Breda" is not only a significant historical painting but also a key example of Velázquez's artistic prowess and his contribution to the development of Western art. It remains an object of extensive scholarly study and a highlight of the collection at the Museo del Prado.
