The art of painting by Johannes Vermeer
This copy of a master painting in oil on canvas magnifies the allegory of artistic creation.
Considered the pictorial testament and most famous allegory of the Delft master, this vast composition magnifies artistic creation and Fame. Bearing the title “The art of painting”, this monumental painting signed by Jan Vermeer features the painter at work in his studio facing his muse. The author orchestrates a masterly demonstration of all his technical skills.
In the left foreground, a heavy Oriental tapestry drawn like a theater curtain opens the studio space. The painter seen from behind sits on a wooden stool, dressed in a black doublet with white historical slits. He paints on his canvas the first strokes of a laurel crown worn by a young model standing near the window. The young woman dressed in blue drapery holds a book and a brass trumpet, embodying the muse Clio. On the back wall hangs an immense geographical map of the Netherlands bordered by city views, illuminated by window light. A brass chandelier shines from the ceiling.
Jan Vermeer confirms his absolute command of geometric perspective and rendering textile textures. His exceptional oil technique makes this work a masterpiece of immortal plastic perfection and great depth.
