"Copy of Velázquez's Aesop" is a notable painting by the American artist William Merritt Chase, created in 1877. This work is a faithful reproduction of the original "Aesop" painted by the Spanish master Diego Velázquez in 1639-1640, which is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid. Chase's rendition is a testament to his admiration for Velázquez and his desire to master the techniques of the Old Masters.

William Merritt Chase was a prominent figure in American art during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for his versatility and proficiency in various styles, including Impressionism and Realism. His decision to copy Velázquez's "Aesop" reflects his academic training and the common practice among artists of his time to study and replicate the works of revered predecessors to hone their skills.

The painting depicts Aesop, the ancient Greek fabulist and storyteller, characterized by his humble attire and thoughtful expression. Velázquez's original work is celebrated for its psychological depth and masterful use of chiaroscuro, qualities that Chase sought to emulate in his own version. Chase's "Copy of Velázquez's Aesop" demonstrates his technical prowess and deep understanding of Velázquez's approach to portraiture, particularly in the rendering of textures and the subtle play of light and shadow.

Chase's copy is more than a mere imitation; it serves as an educational exercise and a homage to Velázquez's genius. It also provides insight into Chase's artistic development and his engagement with European art traditions. This painting is part of Chase's broader oeuvre, which includes portraits, landscapes, and still lifes, and it underscores his role in bridging European and American art practices during a transformative period in art history.
