Juan de Pareja (c. 1606 – c. 1670) was a Spanish painter of multiracial descent. Born in Antequera, he is best known as a member of the household and workshop of painter Diego Velázquez, who enslaved Pareja until 1654. Pareja's 1661 painting The Calling of Saint Matthew (also known to as The Vocation of Saint Matthew) is currently on display at the Museo del Prado in Madrid.[1]
