VELASQUEZ pictures in the Royal Palace, Madrid, the Escorial, etc. ; accompanied the French am- bassador on his artistic journeys in 1659, and created a new school of painting with the magical works of his third style. In 1660 a meeting of the French and Spanish courts was fixed to take place on the Isle of Pheasants in the River Bidassoa, to celebrate the nuptials of Louis XIV. and the Infanta Maria Teresa. In March Velasquez was sent to erect a pavilion on the island, and prepare the Castle of Fueuterrabia for the royal reception. The fatigue consequent upon his great labours proved too much for his constitution. After his return to Ma- drid, July 31, he became alarmingly ill, and a week later, Friday, Aug. 7, breathed his last. The corpse lay in state for two days, habited in the full dress of a Knight of Santiago, and was then carried by night to the parish church of San Juan, where it was buried in the vault below the family chapel of the Fuensalidas.
