The Geographer by Johannes Vermeer, 1669
Dutch / Maps and charts / Paintings (Reproductions) / Renaissance - 1 year ago - troycapc
This is a reproduction of “The Geographer” of 1669 by Johannes Vermeer. This is an excellent example of the Dutch artist’s domestic interior scenes and is one of only three of his works that can be died. Vermeer was thirty -seven years old when he painted this and he never achieved financial success. His reputation was only minor until the 19th century when his genius finally began to be recognized. In this masterpiece, the Geographer is shown in a Japanese robe which was quite popular among scientists of the Baroque Era. He appears to be in the middle of an act of discovery and the slight blurring of the man’s face indicates motion. The original of this masterpiece is in the Stadelsches Kunstinstitut in Frankfurt, Germany.
