La rendición de Breda (English: The Surrender of Breda also known as El cuadro de las lanzas or Las lanzas) is a painting by the Spanish Golden Age painter Diego Velázquez. It was completed during the years 1634–35 inspired by Velázquez’s visit to Italy with Ambrogio Spinola the Genoese general who conquered Breda on June 5 1625. It is considered one of Velázquez’s best works. Jan Morris has called it one of the most Spanish of all pictures.
