Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez (June 6, 1599 - August 6, 1660) was a famous Spanish artist who painted as the lead artist in the court of King Philip IV. One of his more well known paintings was his artist's conception of Aesop, the Greek slave from the 6th Century BC, who is known as the Father of Fables for the collection of fables attributed to him and known as Aesop's Fables. Of course there are no portraits of Aesop, and many historians differ on what his appearance may have been, or even his race, therefore, the painting is considered an "artist's conception" rather than a true portrait. For a photograph of this painting, see the link below to the WikiPedia page about Aesop.
'Aesop' is a painting created by the Spanish artist Diego Velazquez in the 17th century. It depicts the ancient Greek storyteller Aesop holding a book and surrounded by animals, reflecting his fables that often featured animals as characters. The painting showcases Velazquez's skill in creating realistic and detailed portraits.
