Góngora y Argote

The exhibit features five paintings by Velazquez, including his portrait of the poet Luis de Gongora y Argote from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, which was done a year before Velazquez became Philip IV's court painter.

Starting with his own earlier setting of a poem by Luis de Góngora y Argote in a French translation, Mr. Jarrell added three further movements: a German translation, a wholly instrumental impression and, finally, a setting of the original Spanish verse.
