L'œuvre en bref
The Art of Painting by Johannes Vermeer, master of light in the Dutch Baroque movement, is a magnificent example of his virtuosity. This canvas, monumental in its metaphorical approach, reveals both the artist's studio and the process of artistic creation.
In the foreground, a painter with his back to the viewer is absorbed in his work on a canvas. In front of him, a young woman, perhaps Clio, the muse of the story, is frozen in a noble and elegant pose. Vermeer turns the genre scene into a veritable ode to art. The richly detailed interior - with maps of Europe on the wall, a delicately lit chandelier, a heavy velvet curtain - gives the work a bewitching depth. The chromatic harmony and subtle use of light bear witness to Vermeer's distinctive style, fusing realism and symbolism.
