i know i am kinda late but it is by Diego Velasquez and hanges in the Museo de Prado in Madrid, Spain . it is called ” Las Meninas ” and translates in english to ” Maids of Honor ” . Did you know that he plainted himself in the painting , you can see it in the background in the mirrior. and also the little girl in the middle was a princess and they wanted to show her future husband a painting of her . and the person next to her was a dwarf and that was her supervisor that they hired so that the child did not know she was being watched by an adult .

Title of Painting: Las Meninas (detail-1) 1656-57
Painted By: Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Velazquez
Location: Museo Del Prado, Madrid, Spain
Good Luck Kat.. hope ya get it
Diego Velázquez, Prado Museum
Now hangs in the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid, Spain. It is an oil on canvas and measures approximately 10’5″ x 9′. It was painted in 1656 and Las Meninas simply means, “maids of honor.” This painting was not meant for public display, it was primarily for the King’s private office and this is reflected by the very relaxed and comfortable setting, as opposed to the normal deliberately posed pictures we generally see of royalty.
Of course for a royal, size is extremely important, and this painting is over 10 foot by 9 foot. This is a symbol of rank and distinction, not to mention the fact of being able to commission and then own such a piece. Added to this the prestige of someone of Velázquez’s skill and ability is also an important factor in portraying such lavishness.
Ahhhhh i think im gonna go crazy if i dont get a GG6 excerpt soon:)
Hey Shellie! So the painting is Diego Velazquez’s “Las Meninas” and is hanging in the Museo del Prado in Madrid. Everyone already knows the answer, but hey, it’s still fun learning about Kat’s heists!

“La’s Meninas” in Museo del Prado, Madrid
Well I was going to spend some time combing Google but it seems everyone else got here before me! Oh, well, good job ladies!! By the way, I just reviewed Double Crossed and it would mean a lot to me if my fellow Gallagher Girls visited me, commented and followed my blog! http://boardingwithbooks.blogspot.co.il/ Thanks:)
Love! The painting resides in Museo del Prado in Madrid. My best friend brought me a print of this back from Spain a few years ago.
We just learned about this painting in Spanish class! Apparently you’re supposed to look at it reflected through a mirror because the painter is actually left handed.
So, I was watching the news and I saw this story (My family and I read the Heist Society books together!) my mother, without missing a beat goes “It was Kat and Hale! Of course.” Definitely had to share because well… this is low-key a really REALLY cool heist and Kat and Hale totally could have pulled it off!
What did YOU do in 3 mins today?
