{"product_id":"johannes-vermeer-the-geographer-fine-art-print","title":"Johannes Vermeer — The Geographer | Fine Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA man with shoulder-length dark hair leans over a table covered by a large sheet of paper, dividers in one hand, and turns to look out through a leaded window at the left. He wears a blue gown lined in orange over a white collar. A globe stands on a tall cabinet behind him, a framed map hangs at the right, and a blue and ochre carpet is draped over the table edge. A name and date are inscribed high on the wall at the upper right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVermeer signed and dated this canvas 1669 on the wall at the upper right. The Städel Museum reads it as a moment of thought: the geographer has just measured distances on a map with his compass and now pauses, while the globe and the wall map stand for cartography, a field the Netherlands pioneered. The museum notes that the picture is neither a portrait nor a story. The Städel acquired it in 1885.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: oil on canvas, 1669; Städel Museum, Frankfurt am Main.\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.
