"The Surrender of Breda" (also known as "Las Lanzas" or "The Lances") is a masterful painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, completed between 1634 and 1635. Housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, this iconic work of art is considered one of Velázquez's most important and celebrated historical paintings. The canvas, measuring 307 cm by 367 cm, depicts a significant event from the Eighty Years' War: the handing over of Breda from the Dutch to the Spanish forces.

The painting captures the moment of capitulation in 1625 when Justin of Nassau surrenders the keys of the city of Breda to the Spanish general Ambrogio Spinola. Velázquez's composition is noted for its dignified portrayal of both the victors and the vanquished, eschewing the triumphalism often associated with military victories in favor of a more nuanced and respectful representation. The artist's use of perspective, along with the intricate details of the soldiers' lances, creates a sense of depth and realism that was groundbreaking for the period.

Velázquez was commissioned to create this work for the Hall of Realms in the Buen Retiro Palace in Madrid, as part of a series of paintings celebrating Spanish military victories. "The Surrender of Breda" stands out for its humanistic approach, focusing on the chivalrous and honorable interaction between the two commanders, which has been interpreted as an allegory for the ideal of noble warfare. The painting's exquisite detail, masterful use of color, and profound historical narrative contribute to its status as a pinnacle of 17th-century Spanish art and a key example of Velázquez's genius.
