Far from the portraits artists painted to earn their daily living, Diego Velasquez was also the painter of his era and his country - a country without running water, in which the water seller was an important and highly symbolic man.
The Waterseller is a straightforward canvass illustrating the three ages of life, in an everyday scene, painted in brown tones. Imbued with a certain seriousness, it also illustrates the passing of time, like water under a bridge or in jars. Chef Alberto Herraiz has chosen a straightforward and light dish, inspired by this major work. His cooking is tasted by Guillaume Kientz, curator of the exhibition dedicated to the Spanish painter.
