Second journey to Italy, buying art for the king
The king charged Velázquez with buying paintings and sculpture in Italy for the royal collection. With his assistant Juan de Pareja, at that time still a slave, he sailed from Málaga to Genoa and, travelling via Milan to Venice, bought works by Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese; in Modena the duke received him with much favour.

Return to Madrid: the late period begins
Hurried home by the king, Velázquez left Italy; art historians date the start of his late period to his return to Madrid that June.
1652
Appointed aposentador mayor of the palace
The king chose Velázquez for the high office of aposentador mayor, responsible for the quarters occupied by the court. The demanding post took time from his art, yet his works of these years are among the summits of his style.
