My major problem is the lack of citations. Zero! Not even one!! Only some references with printed sources and sites, but no indication about the way they were used. Some further minor problems:
 * The lead is a bit problematic. For example:"His two visits to Italy while part of the Spanish court are well documented." Is this a proper phrase for the lead? The phrase could say that "Velázquez visited twice the Italy in the X and the Y year", but the documentation of the visit is an issue of analysis for the main article and not the lead.
 * "Selected works" is tagged, and this is an important issue for a FA. Personally, I believe that the section in question is incomplete.--Yannismarou 19:21, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment The headings don't conform to WP:MOS, but probably an easy fix. Jay32183 22:58, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Move to FARC - uncited. Sandy (Talk) 01:29, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

FARC commentary

 * Suggested FA criteria concerns are citations (1c), LEAD (2a), and comprehensiveness (1b). Marskell 07:37, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
