Apollo in the Forge of Vulcan (Spanish: Apolo en la Fragua de Vulcano) is an oil painting by Diego de Velázquez completed after his first visit to Italy in 1629. Critics agree that the work should be dated to 1630 the same year as his companion painting Joseph’s Tunic. It appears that neither of the two paintings were commissioned by the king although both became part of the royal collections within a short time.
