Abstract
Se propuso una investigación sobre el retrato por ser una fuente de estudio rica y compleja que aporta matices específicos de su condición como objeto de representación visual. El retrato barroco y en particular los retratos de Las meninas de Velázquez interpelan al espectador de una forma muy directa. Pensamos que esto responde a una nueva mirada hacia el mundo, consciente de que éste no se limita al entorno más próximo. Hay múltiples factores que determinan esta amplitud de perspectiva, como los cambios políticos o los avances científicos, pero también el retrato opera como un elemento activo dentro de este panorama, no solo testimonial. El retrato barroco posee además la capacidad de ejercer una función introspectiva en el espectador, como comprobamos en Las meninas. Por todo ello creemos que su estudio proporciona claves para alcanzar una mayor comprensión tanto del individuo como de las relaciones sociales...
