Know the Artist: Johannes Vermeer
He immortalized quiet moments of 17th century life with sublime clarity – how he managed to do so is a secret that Johannes Vermeer (b. Delft, Netherlands 1632-1675) took to his grave.
This is Several Circles, where we tell the stories of extraordinary artists from across history and the present day. We believe art history content should be accessible—free of charge and impenetrable jargon, but abundant in fascinating facts, illuminating analyses, and entertaining anecdotes.

View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-is-vermeer-s-girl-with-the-pearl-earring-considered-a-masterpiece-james-earle
Is she turning towards you or away from you? No one can agree. She’s the subject of Dutch Master Johannes Vermeer’s "Girl with the Pearl Earring," a painting often referred to as the ‘Mona Lisa of the North.’ But what makes this painting so captivating? James Earle explains how this work represents the birth of a modern perspective on economics, politics, and love.

The mysterious Vermeer - The secret behind a 350-year-old painting | DW Documentary
What’s the significance of the discovery of a naked Cupid in a 350-year-old painting by Vermeer? After years of study, the hidden figure was revealed in the "Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window" painting, housed at the Dresden Gemäldegalerie. It was a sensational find.
The film traces the many twists and turns that this picture has experienced in its history. The justification for re-exhibiting the painting in its new form is a sensation: the Cupid was apparently painted over after the artist’s death.
The enigmatic paintings of Jan Vermeer have fascinated art lovers for centuries. His oeuvre has been one of the most difficult for experts to conclusively decipher and has frequently been the subject of controversial discussions on a global level. Now, a gallery in the German city of Dr...

Vermeer: Master of Light (COMPLETE Documentary) [No Ads]
A fantastic 2001 documentary, with a huge chunk exploring Vermeer's compositional methods and techniques. Narrated by Meryl Streep
My rebuttal to Tim's Vermeer:
It's obvious that Vermeer played around with a camera obscura, but the more likely explanation is that he became so familiar with its optical distortion that he 'became' a camera obscura (he adopted its way of seeing as his aesthetic). The placement of his pointillist highlights on the bread in the Milkmaid (for example) is like a how a camera obscura would place highlights on a highly reflective object, but NEVER a loaf of bread. He placed them there because he was creating it in his imagination to look how shinier objects would look through a camera obscura, because he consciously enjoyed the effect of it and created it thus.

Johannes Vermeer: A collection of 41 paintings (HD)
Description: "Johannes was a Dutch painter who specialized in domestic interior scenes of middle-class life. Vermeer was a moderately successful provincial genre painter in his lifetime. He evidently was not wealthy, leaving his wife and children in debt at his death, perhaps because he produced relatively few paintings.
Vermeer worked slowly and with great care, and frequently used very expensive pigments. He is particularly renowned for his masterly treatment and use of light in his work.
Vermeer painted mostly domestic interior scenes. "Almost all his paintings are apparently set in two smallish rooms in his house in Delft; they show the same furniture and decorations in various arrangements and they often portray the same people, ...

Art exhibition reveals Vermeer's secrets using technology to look under paintings
A painting thought to be by Johannes Vermeer isn’t a Vermeer after all. The 17th-century Dutch master left behind few works, so take even one away and it’s a big deal. New technology is allowing experts to see art in a different way and help make these judgments. Jeffrey Brown visited the National Gallery of Art in Washington for our arts and culture series, "CANVAS."

El misterio de la pintura de Vermeer de 350 años de antigüedad | DW Documental
¿Qué significa el descubrimiento de un Cupido desnudo en una de las pinturas más famosas de Vermeer? Después de años de estudio, los expertos descubren una nueva figura en la obra "Niña leyendo una carta en una ventana abierta".
¿La alteración del cuadro no equivale a borrar los 300 años de historia del mismo? El reportaje muestra los numerosos giros que ha dado este lienzo a lo largo de su historia. El motivo de la exposición en Dresde es una sensación: el Cupido probablemente fue cubierto después de la muerte del artista.
Las enigmáticas obras de Jan Vermeer han fascinado durante siglos. Casi ningún otro artista ha eludido los intentos de interpretar sus pinturas durante tanto tiempo. Por ello, ha sido repetidamente objeto de polémicas entre los eruditos del arte de todo el mundo. Ahor...

But in the Protestant Netherlands, a new wave of realism was sweeping across the country. Johannes Vermeer was producing simple domestic interiors of middle-class life. His paintings were quiet, private, and unassuming. Secular works that contained stories of real human relationships.

What’s the significance of the discovery of a naked Cupid in a 350-year-old painting by Vermeer? After years of study, the hidden figure was revealed in the "Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window" painting, housed at the Dresden Gemäldegalerie. It was a sensational find.
The film traces the many twists and turns that this picture has experienced in its history. The justification for re-exhibiting the painting in its new form is a sensation: the Cupid was apparently painted over after the artist’s death.
The enigmatic paintings of Jan Vermeer have fascinated art lovers for centuries. His oeuvre has been one of the most difficult for experts to conclusively decipher and has frequently been the subject of controversial discussions on a global level. Now, a gallery in the German city of Dresden has assembled the world’s top Vermeer aficionados, high-tech imaging techniques and plenty of cash. Why? Because what began as a regular restoration of a painting has now resulted in the radical alteration of an iconic image.
But who decides how paintings from the past should be analyzed? And how to respond to any surprising findings? This film ponders the prerogative of interpretation in art, in the past and the present. Will the revelation of Cupid finally help to uncover the enduring secrets of Vermeer?

A fantastic 2001 documentary, with a huge chunk exploring Vermeer's compositional methods and techniques. Narrated by Meryl Streep
My rebuttal to Tim's Vermeer:
It's obvious that Vermeer played around with a camera obscura, but the more likely explanation is that he became so familiar with its optical distortion that he 'became' a camera obscura (he adopted its way of seeing as his aesthetic). The placement of his pointillist highlights on the bread in the Milkmaid (for example) is like a how a camera obscura would place highlights on a highly reflective object, but NEVER a loaf of bread. He placed them there because he was creating it in his imagination to look how shinier objects would look through a camera obscura, because he consciously enjoyed the effect of it and created it thus.
If Vermeer were dependent on a bulky optical device he would never have painted the View of Delft -- a massive outdoor landscape scene that was certainly created at home. It was generally impossible before the advent of tubed paint to work alla prima outside, and if the camera obscura were a trade secret he would have never have risked using it in public. Vermeer worked it up (along with the 'Little Street') from drawings and returned to the studio to make it.
Vermeer painted all of his interiors in the same room of his small house in Delft, yet the windows, the floor, the walls etc. always look different. Why? Because he was creating them in his head to look like a camera obscura, but not slavishly with a camera obscura.
Finally, X rays of Vermeer's paintings show that he reworked the placement of things over and over -- meaning he was building from imagination, not directly from an optical device.

Johannes Vermeer: A collection of 41 paintings (HD)
Description: "Johannes was a Dutch painter who specialized in domestic interior scenes of middle-class life. Vermeer was a moderately successful provincial genre painter in his lifetime. He evidently was not wealthy, leaving his wife and children in debt at his death, perhaps because he produced relatively few paintings.
Vermeer worked slowly and with great care, and frequently used very expensive pigments. He is particularly renowned for his masterly treatment and use of light in his work.
Vermeer painted mostly domestic interior scenes. "Almost all his paintings are apparently set in two smallish rooms in his house in Delft; they show the same furniture and decorations in various arrangements and they often portray the same people, mostly women."
He was recognized during his lifetime in Delft and The Hague, but his modest celebrity gave way to obscurity after his death. He was barely mentioned in Arnold Houbraken's major source book on 17th-century Dutch painting (Grand Theatre of Dutch Painters and Women Artists), and was thus omitted from subsequent surveys of Dutch art for nearly two centuries. In the 19th century, Vermeer was rediscovered by Gustav Friedrich Waagen and Théophile Thoré-Bürger, who published an essay attributing 66 pictures to him, although only 34 paintings are universally attributed to him today. Since that time, Vermeer's reputation has grown, and he is now acknowledged as one of the greatest painters of the Dutch Golden Age."

A painting thought to be by Johannes Vermeer isn’t a Vermeer after all. The 17th-century Dutch master left behind few works, so take even one away and it’s a big deal. New technology is allowing experts to see art in a different way and help make these judgments. Jeffrey Brown visited the National Gallery of Art in Washington for our arts and culture series, "CANVAS."

El misterio de la pintura de Vermeer de 350 años de antigüedad | DW Documental

¿Qué significa el descubrimiento de un Cupido desnudo en una de las pinturas más famosas de Vermeer? Después de años de estudio, los expertos descubren una nueva figura en la obra "Niña leyendo una carta en una ventana abierta".
¿La alteración del cuadro no equivale a borrar los 300 años de historia del mismo? El reportaje muestra los numerosos giros que ha dado este lienzo a lo largo de su historia. El motivo de la exposición en Dresde es una sensación: el Cupido probablemente fue cubierto después de la muerte del artista.
Las enigmáticas obras de Jan Vermeer han fascinado durante siglos. Casi ningún otro artista ha eludido los intentos de interpretar sus pinturas durante tanto tiempo. Por ello, ha sido repetidamente objeto de polémicas entre los eruditos del arte de todo el mundo. Ahora, en Dresde, expertos de renombre internacional, métodos de análisis de alta tecnología y fondos suficientes para la investigación han dado sus frutos. Lo que comenzó como una restauración es ahora la transformación radical de una imagen icónica.
¿Quién decide realmente sobre esta intervención en el cuadro? El reportaje "Oculto tras la cortina” invita a la reflexión sobre la soberanía de la interpretación en el arte, desde el pasado hasta la actualidad.
