Artist
Antonio Varas
Antonio Varas is an Early Baroque Italian artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
Antonio Varas painted portraits in early-17th-century Spain. His brush captured the likeness of Don Luis de Góngora in oil around 1622. In a world where faces were carved by social rank, Varas’s work offers a quiet record of one man’s features.
Tap to see the Portrait of Don Luis de Góngora, its sober palette and steady gaze feel like a doorway to the Spain of Cervantes and Velázquez.
