Infante Don Baltazar Carlos
by MAZO, Juan Bautista Martinez del, Oil on canvas, 144 x 109,3 cm
Mazo, one of the true followers of Vel�zquez, is credited with a number of works formerly attributed to his master (and his father-in-law). This portrait represent the son of King Philip IV. The influence of Vel�zquez is very strong both in the composition and in the landscape background. It is assumed that this is a variant of a lost Vel�zquez portrait.
Some scholars attribute this painting to Alonso Cano.
