Walter Liedtke, curator of European paintings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, has assembled a splendid catalog of Vermeer and his artistic milieu. Seven lengthy, well-illustrated chapters (Liedtke wrote five, Dutch art historians Michiel Plomp and Marten Jan Bok wrote the others) describe life in the city of Delft; the painters Carel Fabritius, Leonart Bramer, and others who preceded Vermeer; the careers of Vermeer and De Hooch; the making of drawings and prints in 17th-century Delft; and the collecting of art in the same period. The catalog follows: each painting, print, and drawing accompanied by a lengthy catalog essay. Oversize: 12.25x9.75". c. Book News Inc.

In this catalogue for the exhibition, Walter Liedtke, Curator of Paintings at the Metropolitan, drawing on the Museum's five Vermeers, scenes by other Dutch masters in the Museum's collection, including Pieter de Hooch, Gabriel Metsu, Nicolaes Maes, and Emanuel de Witte, and several works on paper, places the picture in the context of the artist's brief career and relates it to contemporary developments in Dutch art. In addition to an extended discussion of the painting's provenance, he provides a detailed study of the composition, the several revisions made during the course of execution, and the subtle relationships between light and shadow, color, contour, and shape. And he proposes a most intriguing argument for an erotic subtext, pointing out that, like maids and kitchen maids in earlier Netherlandish art, the figure in The Milkmaid was meant to attract the male viewer, to rouse in him temptation and restraint, desire and reservation, while the kitchen maid herself, endowed with traits typically reserved for higher-class women and surrounded by references to romance both literal and oblique, is presented as having amorous thoughts of her own.

Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) is world-famous for his scenes of daily life, such as a kitchen maid pouring milk, a woman having a music lesson, or a lady writing a letter. However, when Vermeer began painting around the age of 21, he focused primarily on traditional subjects derived from the Bible and classical mythology. Not only do these early works differ greatly from his later paintings in terms of subject matter, they also differ in style.The exhibition unites three paintings from the beginning of Vermeer's artistic career: the Mauritshuis' Diana and her nymphs of c. 1653-1654, is joined by Christ in the house of Martha and Mary (c. 1655) from the National Gallery of Scotland in Edinburgh, and The Procuress (1656) from the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen in Dresden. These three paintings afford an image of the artist seeking his own style. All three paintings have recently been restored."

Johannes Vermeer (16321675) has been one of the most widely admired European painters since his so-called rediscovery in the second half of the nineteenth century. Until quite recently, the Romantic roots of writing on the Sphinx of Delft have encouraged the image of him as an isolated genius; the artists private life and religion, his supposed use of a camera obscura, and the fact that his teacher has not been identified have all contributed to an air of mystery. As this new monograph demonstrates, Vermeers life is actually well documented and his work may be more appropriately understood by placing the painter in the context of the Delft school as a whole and of Delft society. The fact that one local patron acquired about twenty pictures by the artist (only thirty-six are known today) must have been significant for Vermeers subtleties of meaning and refinements of technique and style. In the end, however, the most historical approach to Vermeer still leaves us with a master whose rare sensibility and extraordinary powers of observation may be described but not explained.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1913 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IX VERMEER'S PICTURES ABOUT twenty-one years after the death of Vermeer there occurred in Amsterdam, May 16, 1696, a sale of some hundred pictures by various artists. Among these were twenty-one pictures by Vermeer. These paintings are of great importance to us in tracing the pictures of Vermeer, because, if we find a picture very much in the manner of the master of Delft, and if its subject corresponds with one of those in the Catalogue of the Sale of 1696, we have an added reason for supposing the picture to be by Vermeer. There follows the list of pictures from the Catalogue of the 1696 Sale with the comment printed at that time and with the prices. Prices in our money, together with additional comment, are printed in parentheses. LIST OF VERMEERS IN 1696 AMSTERDAM SALE 1. A Woman Weighing Gold-- in a case, painted in an extraordinarily skilful and strong manner . . . florins 155 ($62; No. 10 in Hofstede de Groot's Catalogue raisonne. Now in the Widener Collection). 2. A Maid-Servant Pouring out Milk -- exceedingly good . . . florins 175 ($70. H. d. G. 17. Now in the Rijks Museum). 3. The Portrait of Vermeer -- in a room with rich accessories painted in an unusually fine style . . . 45 florins ($18. H. d. G. 8. Supposed by Dr. Hofstede de Groot to be the picture now in the Czernin Collection. Certain reasons for doubting this will be discussed later). 4. A Lady Playing the Guitar -- very well painted . . . 70 florins ($28; H. d. G. 26. Now in John G. Johnson's Collection in Philadelphia). 5. An Interior -- a gentleman washing his hands, with a vista and figures; painted in a skilful and unusual style ... 95 florins ($38; H. d. G. 21. Not discovered). 6.
