{"product_id":"johannes-vermeer-lady-at-the-virginal-with-a-gentleman-the-music-lesson-fine-art-print","title":"Johannes Vermeer — Lady at the Virginal with a Gentleman, ‘The Music Lesson’ | Fine Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA man in black with long hair and a pale sash stands at the right beside the instrument, watching a woman who stands with her back to us at the keyboard. A mirror above the virginal shows her face. A viola da gamba lies on the black-and-white tiled floor, a white jug stands on a table draped with a heavy blue-and-red carpet, and a leaded window lights the left wall. A Latin inscription runs across the lid of the virginal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Royal Collection Trust reads the mirror above the virginal as a clue to Vermeer's own position: it reflects the young woman's face and the legs of an artist's easel, placing him both in the room and outside it, like the viewer. The lid carries a Latin motto about music as a companion in pleasure and a balm in sorrow. George III bought the canvas in 1762, when it was still credited to Frans van Mieris the Elder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: oil on canvas, early 1660s; Royal Collection Trust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohannes Vermeer (1632–1675) was a Dutch painter working in Delft. Little is documented about his training; it is unclear with whom he apprenticed, though Carel Fabritius and Abraham Bloemaert have both been suggested. He painted a small number of interior scenes of middle-class domestic life, most often a single figure lit by a window on the left, rendered with an exacting stillness and costly pigments such as ultramarine. His paintings are held by the Rijksmuseum, the Mauritshuis and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is a giclée, printed to order.
