{"product_id":"johannes-vermeer-the-art-of-painting-fine-art-print","title":"Johannes Vermeer — The Art of Painting | Fine Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA painter seen from behind sits at an easel in a tiled studio, wearing a black cap, a black and white slashed jacket, black breeches and red stockings, and paints a blue wreath on his canvas. At the left a young woman in a blue gown, crowned with a blue wreath, holds a trumpet and a yellow book. Behind them hangs a large map, with a brass chandelier above, and a heavy patterned curtain is drawn aside across the foreground at the left.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Kunsthistorisches Museum reads the picture as an allegory of painting: the model poses as Clio, the Muse of History, who proclaims the fame of painting in the old Netherlands and commits it to her book. The map shows the seventeen provinces of the Netherlands before their division into north and south, pointing to the land whose renown has long rested on painting. Vermeer's signature runs along the lower border of the map.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: canvas, around 1666\/68; Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.\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.
