Obra realizada para el Salón de Reinos del madrileño Palacio del Buen Retiro, actualmente destruido; se fecharía antes del mes de abril de 1635 y representa un episodio de la Guerra de Flandes ocurrido el 5 de junio de 1625. (2:17)

Pintado por Velázquez hacia 1630 en su primer viaje a Italia, fue posteriormente comprado por Felipe IV en 1634. El tema elegido está inspirado en las Metamorfosis de Ovidio: Apolo se acerca a la fragua de Vulcano para contarle la infidelidad de su esposa, Venus, con Marte. (2:19)

Esta es una de las pocas obras religiosas que realizó Velázquez a lo
largo de su carrera. Su destino sería una de las numerosas ermitas que había en el Jardín del Buen Retiro, probablemente la de San Pablo, por lo que se suele fechar hacia 1633.Cuenta la historia de la visita de San Antonio Abad a San Pablo, el primer ermitaño. (2:17)
Este retrato también estaba inventariado en el Palacio del Buen Retiro en 1701, formando pareja con el de Cristobal de Castañeda y Pernia, fechándose ambos hacia 1636. Sin duda no estamos ante la figura del hijo natural de Felipe II, sino ante un bufón que interpretaba el papel del héroe de la batalla de Lepanto. (2:33)

Se trata de una obra tomada directamente del natural, interesándose el maestro por dar una impresión de la luz en un momento determinado del día, por lo que recibe el sobrenombre d

Caves were important refuges for humans and animals that coexisted during the late Pleistocene, the epoch of ice ages that ended 10,000 years ago. These sheltered environments can preserve evidence of extinct biological communities that archaeologists, paleontologists, and geneticists can mine for clues the species' biology, behavior, and evolution. Recently, exceptionally well-preserved bones from European caves have yielded DNA for two Ice Age species, Neanderthals and cave bears. The teams-on
