  • Interiors and Interiority in Vermeer: Empiricism, Subjectivity, Modernism
    ARTICLE Received 20 Feb 2017 | Accepted 11 May 2017 | Published 12 Jul 2017 DOI: 10.1057/palcomms.2017.68 OPEN Interiors and interiority in Vermeer: empiricism, subjectivity, modernism Benjamin Binstock1 ABSTRACT Johannes Vermeer may well be the foremost painter of interiors and interiority in the history of art, yet we have not necessarily understood his achievement in either domain, or their relation within his complex development. This essay explains how Vermeer based his interiors on rooms in his house and used his family members as models, combining empiricism and subjectivity. Vermeer was exceptionally self-conscious and sophisticated about his artistic task, which we are still laboring to understand and articulate. He eschewed anecdotal narratives and presented his models as models in “studio” settings, in paintings about paintings, or art about art, a form of modernism. In contrast to the prevailing con- ception in scholarship of Dutch Golden Age paintings as providing didactic or moralizing messages for their pre-modern audiences, we glimpse in Vermeer’s paintings an anticipation of our own modern understanding of art. This article is published as part of a collection on interiorities. 1 School of History and Social Sciences, Cooper Union, New York, NY, USA Correspondence: (e-mail: [email protected]) PALGRAVE COMMUNICATIONS | 3:17068 | DOI: 10.1057/palcomms.2017.68 | www.palgrave-journals.com/palcomms 1 ARTICLE PALGRAVE COMMUNICATIONS | DOI: 10.1057/palcomms.2017.68 ‘All the beautifully furnished rooms, carefully designed within his complex development.

  • SAINT PRAXEDIS by JOHANNES VERMEER - One of Only Two Paintings by the Artist in Private Hands
    PRESS RELEASE | LONDON FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Monday, 9 June 2014 SAINT PRAXEDIS BY JOHANNES VERMEER - One of only two paintings by the artist in private hands - LEADS THE SALE OF WORKS FROM THE BARBARA PIASECKA JOHNSON COLLECTION WITH PROCEEDS TO BENEFIT THE BARBARA PIASECKA JOHNSON FOUNDATION AT CHRISTIE’S IN JULY London – Christie’s is pleased to announce that works from The Barbara Piasecka Johnson Collection with Proceeds to Benefit the Barbara Piasecka Johnson Foundation will be offered at Christie’s London from 8 to 17 July. The star lot is the famous painting of Saint Praxedis by Johannes Vermeer of Delft (1632-1675), from 1655, which is the earliest dated picture by the artist and one of only two from his rare oeuvre to remain in private hands (estimate: £6-8 million, illustrated above). The results of recent material technical analysis conducted by the Rijksmuseum in association with the Free University, Amsterdam endorses Vermeer’s authorship of the picture. They establish not only that the lead white used in the paint is consistent with Dutch painting and is incontrovertibly not Italian; they also reveal a precise match with another established early painting by Vermeer - Diana and her Companions, in The Mauritshuis, The Hague. The match even suggests that the exact same batch of paint was used for both paintings. This magnificent painting offers one of the rarest and most alluring opportunities for collectors and institutions this season. Please click here for the full catalogue note on this work. An art connoisseur whose dedicated collecting was underpinned by art historical training in Poland, where she was born, Barbara Piasecka Johnson (1937- 2013) was also a humanitarian and philanthropist.

  • Johannes Vermeer : a Generative Artist ? So What ? Courchia Jean Paul, MD Saint Joseph’S Hospital, Dpt of Ophthalmology
    Johannes Vermeer : A generative artist ? So What ? Courchia Jean Paul, MD Saint Joseph’s Hospital, Dpt of Ophthalmology. Marseille. France e-mail : [email protected] Guigui Sarah Department of Internal Medicine, North Shore LIJ at Forest Hills Hospital. Courchia Emmanuel Department of Psychology, Queens College at CUNY. Johannes Vermeer was a Dutch artist born in Delft (the Netherlands) on October 31th 1632, and died on December 16th 1675 at the age of 43 years old. Over the course of his life he was a successful painter locally around Delft and The Hague, but this modest celebrity was soon forgotten after his death. He painted only few paintings of which only 36 are known to date. His paintings are often thought to be small but in reality are of varying sizes from 160 cm to 20 cm in greatest dimension. What is interesting is that they are sometimes at the same (or almost) dimensions. Especially in the series of interiors with the light coming through a window on the left, it is possible that the size’s choice is not only linked to the fact that Vermeer use standard sizes. It is not until 1866 that Vermeer becomes familiar with global fame. Thanks to Theophile Thore-Burger, a French journalist, whose art critic column propelled Vermeer onto the international scene. In 1842 when he saw the View of Delft in the Mauritshuis of The Hague and became an instant fan of the duct painter. He helped Vermeer’s notoriety by publishing an essay attributing 66 works to the painter although 34 are universally attributed to him.

  • Vermeer As Aporia: Indeterminacy, Divergent Narratives, and Ways of Seeing
    Munn Scholars Awards Undergraduate Research 2020 Vermeer as Aporia: Indeterminacy, Divergent Narratives, and Ways of Seeing Iain MacKay Follow this and additional works at: https://researchrepository.wvu.edu/munn Part of the History of Art, Architecture, and Archaeology Commons Vermeer as Aporia: Indeterminacy, Divergent Narratives, and Ways of Seeing Iain MacKay Senior Thesis Written in partial fulfillment of the Bachelor of Arts in Art History April 23, 2020 Copyright 2020, Iain MacKay ABSTRACT Vermeer as Aporia: Indeterminacy, Divergent Narratives, and Ways of Seeing Iain MacKay Although Johannes Vermeer’s paintings have long been labelled “ambiguous” in the canon of Western Art History, this research aims to challenge the notion of ambiguity. By shifting the conception of Vermeer’s works from ambiguity to indeterminacy, divergent narratives emerge which inform a more complex understanding of Vermeer’s oeuvre. These divergent narratives understand Vermeer’s paintings as turning points in stories that extend beyond the canvas; moments where the possibilities of a situation diverge in different directions. Thus, a myriad of narratives might be contained in a single painting, all of which simultaneously have the possibility of existing, but not the actuality. This interpretation of Vermeer takes evidence from seventeenth-century ways of seeing and the iconographic messages suggested by the paintings within paintings that occur across Vermeer’s oeuvre. Here for the first time, an aporetic approach is utilized to explore how contradictions and paradoxes within a system serve to contribute to holistic meaning. By analyzing four of Vermeer’s paintings – The Concert, Woman Holding a Balance, The Music Lesson, and Lady Seated at a Virginal – through an aporetic lens, an alternative to ambiguity can be constructed using indeterminacy and divergent narratives that help explain compositional and iconographical choices.

Johannes Vermeer, the second child of Reynier Jansz Vos (also known as Vermeer) and Digna Baltens, was baptized in the Nieuwe Kerk in Delft on 31 October 1632. Reynier Jansz initially earned a living as a weaver of a fine satin fabric called caffa.[1] In addition, from 1629 he is mentioned as the innkeeper of De Vliegende Vos. He was also an art dealer, registering as such in the Delft Guild of Saint Luke in 1631. On 1 May 1641, when Vermeer was nine-and-a-half years old, the family moved from the Voldersgracht to a house and inn called Mechelen, on the Marktveld, where Reynier Jansz actively continued to buy and sell paintings. Following his father’s death in 1652, Vermeer took over the business while his mother continued to run the inn.[2] Digna Baltens tried to sell the property in 1663, but when it failed to fetch the desired price, she put it up for rent. Vermeer inherited the inn after her death in 1670, and he continued to rent it out. On 20 April 1653 Vermeer married Catharina Bolnes (ca.

  • CLEAR II Baroque and Rococo Visual Arts Packet by Jeremy Hixson 1. a Lifesize Peacock Dominates One Of
    CLEAR II Baroque and Rococo Visual Arts Packet by Jeremy Hixson 1. A life­size peacock dominates one of these objects, which also features a dragonfly sitting on a mushroom and an owl in a cage and which was designed by James Cox. One style of these objects is the "tete de poupee", which are named for their appearance in profile and which were decorated with its creator's namesake Boulle marquetry of inlaid brass or pewter arabesques in a turtle­shell veneer. Jean­Jacques and Philippe Caffieri did the bronze work on one of these objects housed in Versailles and designed by Claude­Simeon Passemant; that piece is topped by a transparent globus which displays a rotating model of heavenly bodies. A painting of the "Flight into Egypt" by Francesco Trevisani appears on the front of a "nocturnal" example of these objects, which was designed by Pier Tommaso Campani for Pope Alexander VII and which uses a lamp in the back to shine through carved numbers in a rotating dial. For 10 points, identify these time­keeping instruments, often used as decorative objects. ANSWER: Clock [accept "Timepieces" until "time" is said; accept "Automata" before "tete" is said] ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2. Barend Oortkras designed the second clock mechanism and Nicolaus Derck poorly cast the second set of 38 bells, including the 7,000 pound Quint Bell, for this cathedral's carillon after the originals were destroyed in a fire in 1756. Harman van Boles designed this cathedral's large gilt spire, which dominates the skyline of the city in which this cathedral is located and which is topped by the figure of an angel holding a cross, which serves as a weathervane.
