Velazquez's first trip to Italy

According to Velázquez scholars, such as Brown (1981) and Peñalver (2005), Velázquez first trip to Italy from 1629 to 1631 was of paramount importance in his development as a painter. t The solid training in draftsmanship acquired between 1611-1616 under Pacheco’s mentorship benefited from the months of perfectioning the brush techniques in the school of Sant Rocco in Rome, and the ability of Titian with expressions, that his father in law dismissed.
From this period belong the portraits of Pablo de Valladolid and Diego Acedo "El Primo"
