Velazquez's Bodegones paintings in his early period are inclined to be disregarded. Through the studies on them, however, we should recognize him as a great portrait painter who had an incomparably sharp eyes to objects. Ortega y Gasset (Velazquez, 1954) thinks that Bodegones has eight works in all. But it would be better for us to count nine works in all on referring to Jose Lopez-Rey's Velazquez : Catalogue raisonne (1963). These Bodegones paintings show a process through which Velazquez got out of Carvaggic influence and gradually made up his own style : the period when the main objects he painted were changing from inanimate objects to human figures. In this paper, the periods in which Bodegones paintings were born, are divided into three. The 1st period ; 1616-1617 (from the earliest work of Three Musicians to An Old Woman Frying Eggs), the 2nd ; 1618-1622 (The Waterseller), the 3rd ; 1623-1629 (the latest work of Drunkards or The Triumph of Bacchus). We could find in these Bodegones a principle of "the very imitator of the natural". They show us not only the style of young Velazquez's painting, but also a remarkable tendency of European history of painting from the end of 16th century to the early 17th. To sum up, Bodegones paintings were inevitable for Velazquez to go forwards to his second period of work.
