opens next week. It explores the work of Juan de Pareja, an artist enslaved by Spanish painter Diego Velázquez in the 1600s.
"In many ways, once people saw this painting of Pareja, they thought, 'Wow, this guy is absolutely incredible,' and in the process, probably Pareja himself became famous as a face," said David Pullins, associate curator of European Painting for the museum.

Valdez said about the timing of the exhibit.
Key to uncovering Pareja's story was Arturo Schomburg. The Harlem Renaissance historian first saw Pareja's paintings on a trip to Spain. The experience became the subject of an essay.
