Knackfuß is an artistic monograph written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and works of the renowned Spanish painter Diego Velazquez, highlighting his unique contributions to the art world during the 17th century. It serves as both a biography and an art analysis, delving into how Velazquez's style contrasts with that of his contemporaries, and examines his influence on modern perceptions of color and form in painting. The opening of the work introduces the life of Diego Velazquez, emphasizing the significance of his artistic vision amidst the backdrop of 17th-century Spain. Knackfuß describes Velazquez's early life, his family background, and his journey into the world of painting, including his education under various artists. The narrative sets the stage for understanding Velazquez's essential characteristics as a painter, particularly his move towards naturalism and his portrayal of reality that transcends the conventions of his time. It also hints at his pivotal role at the court of King Philip IV, setting the focus on Velazquez's future endeavors as a royal portraitist and his philosophical approach to art, juxtaposed with the ideological constraints of the period.
