Description: The interest generated by the conservation and rehanging of a Velazquez picture "Portrait of a Man", led the Metropolitan Museum to consider how it might hold an exhibition of Velaquez's oeuvre, to show how his work led to this particular picture being painted, and how it informed his future work.
Notes: "Issued in conjunction with an exhibition held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Nov. 17, 2009-Feb. 7, 2010."
