Diego Velázquez's "Las Meninas" incorporates aspects of Caravaggio's traditions, such as tenebrism (the dramatic use of light and shadow), an emphasis on figures in the foreground, and a technique that draws the viewer into the scene through the interaction of the subjects and the complex composition.
