From LinkedCulture
In 1778, Francisco de Goya picked up an etching needle and set out to reverse-engineer a genius. This print copies Velazquez's equestrian portrait of Gaspar de Guzman, one of Spain's most powerful royal ministers, showing him mounted on a rearing horse, baton raised, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and lace collar against a spare landscape. Goya made an entire series of etchings after Velazquez, and this disciplined act of copying helped forge the technical instincts behind his greatest work.
