I'm always a little suspicious that this sort of analysis is making the artist's work subordinate to the viewer's speculation, but, of course, that's part of the fun of looking deeply at a Vermeer. <br /> <br />If you haven't done so recently, take a look at this website (http://www.essentialvermeer.com/museumstwo.html#FRICK ) and scroll down to the section on the Frick Collection. The Frick has three wonderful Vermeer's. I am particularly partial to Mistress and Maid, which is thought to be a late work and likely unfinished. But, oy, what's finished! <br /><br />A cool feature of the Frick site itself is a zoomable function that allows you to get very close views with high definition of small sections of a canvas so you can really see the technique.dbpreskillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06311098759870391148noreply@blogger.com
