Diego Velázquez (ES, 1599 - 1660)

Las Hilanderas (The spinners) / The Fable of Arachne (La fábula de Aracne) ca. 1657. Oil on canvas 222,5 × 293 cm. Prado

The x-ray of the canvas reveals the multiple patches used to expand the originally cramped yet ingeniously reversed POV of the theme.

In 1948, art historian Diego Angula produced a convincing argument that the iconography of Las Hilanderas suggests the Fable of Arachne. The helmeted figure in the background is Pallas Athena, and the tapestry visible to the viewer as the Rape of Europa, the subject that Arachne was said to depict.

The tapestry is a copy after Titian's Rape of Europa, also copied by Rubens in 1629, both prized items in the Spanish royal collection.

The reference to Titian and Rubens's copies could be a parallel to Arachne's conviction of being able to surpass goddess Athena. The POV reverse could also be a provocation by setting lay women just in the front layer...

«La primera virtud de un rey es la obediencia. Ella, como sabidora de lo que vale la templanza y moderación, dispone con suavidad el mandaren el sumo poder. No es la obediencia mortificación de los monarcas; que noblemente reconocen las grandes almas vasallaje á la razón, á la piedad y á las leyes. Quien á estas obedece, bien manda; y quien manda sin haberlas obedecido, ántes martiriza que gobierna.»

Francisco de Quevedo: «Política de Dios y gobierno de Cristo», en Obras de Don Franscisco de Quevedo y Villegas, tomo primero.  M. Rivadeneyra Editor, pág. 75. Madrid, 1852.
