Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists #34: Diego Velázquez

---

Author/illustrator Mike Venezia has been getting to know the world's greatest artists for as long as he can remember. A graduate of The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Mike believes the best way to introduce children to art and artists is through fun. If children can learn about art in a fun way, and think of artists as real people, the exciting world of art will be open to them for the rest of their lives. Mike lives in a Chicago suburb with his wife, Jeannine, and children Michael Anthony and Elizabeth Ann.rnVelázquez sometimes distorted images in his works to compensate for the height at which the paintings were to be displayed. A horse, for instance, would appear overly plump when viewed head-on, but look normal when viewed from below. For years, art experts have mistakenly assumed that Mike's portraits of his pet dog were painted with the same technique in mind.
