"The Love Letter," Johannes Vermeer, c. 1669-70.

Vermeer (16321675) is a much-acclaimed and much-studied painter of the Dutch Golden Age, and hailed as one of the all-time greatest.

His output was almost entirely scenes of middle-class life, although sometimes with religious or allegorical meaning, and all painted in the same two rooms of his house, but with expertly-depicted light. He was famous in his hometown of Delft but after his death he was largely forgotten until the 19th century when he was rediscovered and his work acclaimed for modern generations. Today, only about 34 paintings of his survive, although a number of fakes were produced over the years, including one forger who sold to Nazi soldiers.

Here we have an interior scene of a woman being handed a letter, but her expression is an eager one. Her instrument, a cittern, was a symbol of passionate love, and the loss of one of her slippers is also a racy hint. The paintings behind her, of a stormy sea and a traveler on a road, suggest her lover is on a voyage.

From the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.

Die „Sphinx von Delft“ – Eine Lange Nacht über den Maler Johannes Vermeer – Von Berit Hempel

Deutschlandradio Kultur – (Ursendung)

Für seine Geburtsstadt Delft ist Johannes Vermeer ein Touristenmagnet, nicht nur wegen des berühmten Mädchens mit dem Perlenohrring. Der Protestant Johannes Vermeer wurde 1632 in Delft geboren und verbrachte dort bis zu seinem Tod 1675 die meiste Zeit seines Lebens. Auch wenn das Haus nicht mehr steht, in dem der Künstler lebte, hat er seine Spuren hinterlassen zwischen schmalen Grachten, engen Gassen und auf dem weiten Marktplatz. Weniger als 40 seiner Gemälde sind erhalten, Skizzen existieren nicht, wer ihn ausbildete, weiß niemand. Er gilt auch als die Sphinx von Delft, weil so wenig über ihn bekannt ist. Und doch gibt es viel über ihn zu erzählen – über seine einzigartigen Gemälde, seine Zeit im niederländischen Delft, über falsche Zuschreibungen Suchgräben im Ölgemälde, übermalte Motive. Manche Geschichten gleichen einem Krimi, in dem eine Schmutzschicht zur Lösung eines Rätsels beiträgt. Was er selbst zu erzählen hatte, erzählte er in seinen unnachahmlichen Gemälden. Musizieren wird zum Liebensbekenntnis, Prostituierte werden bei der Kupplerin bezahlt. Besondere Bedeutung maß der Künstler dem Licht bei, https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/urn:ard:episode:cb38dbfe29c4576c/

Johannes Vermeer💫
İnci Küpeli Kız, Hollandalı ressamın bu meşhur eseri "Hollandalı Mona Lisa" olarak ta adlandırılırmış. 2022 yılında "İklim Aktivistleri" adı verilen vandal beyinsizler tarafından saldırıya uğramış, şükür bir şey olmamış.
