Exceptional discovery in the legacy of Diego de Velázquez: an unpublished portrait of the Count-Duke of Olivares in armor has appeared in a private collection. The find was made by the director of the Detroit Institute of Arts, Salvador Salort-Pons, as he himself explains in the July issue of the magazine ARS Magazine. This would be the first portrait Velázquez made when he arrived in Madrid from Seville. Salort-Pons plans to exhibit it at his museum in the fall. The article does not specify the location of the painting, which would reach astronomical prices in the art market, nor whether it is cataloged.

Felipe VI has made a surprise appearance on the networks to explain the situation The Grandmothers, of Diego Velázquez, to mark the Prado Museum's thousandth live broadcast. The art gallery hosts these broadcasts every day on Instagram, where hundreds of people connect to learn interesting facts about a piece in the collection. However, this Tuesday it was the Spanish king who appeared on screen. His live broadcast was also somewhat different: the monarch explained the details of the Prado's most famous painting not from the museum but from the Zarzuela Palace, with the painting projected on a screen.
