Vermeer has become so popular for several reasons. His works are few, which makes each individual painting very valuable. They offer a brief glimpse into Dutch domestic life, conveying a tranquility that can sometimes be missing from our own lives. But Vermeer is a particular favorite for many because people are still very much interested in his technique. He was a master of light, able to capture the slightest differences of illumination and shadow on the walls, within the folds of garments, refracted through glass, and dimmed through cloth drapes. The prevailing assumption for many years had been that Vermeer was incredibly meticulous, painstakingly poring over his canvas to get his interior scenes exactly as he wanted them. There are entire documentaries available (like the one made\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WPL7D0Ha1kQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">by Tim Jenison<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">) where people test theories that he may have used some optical device like a\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">camera obscura<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0to help him create his works. But now, the discoveries made at the Rijksmuseum bring those assumptions into question.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Scans of\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Milkmaid<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0performed by Rijksmuseum conservators now show elements of the original work later painted over. It seems Vermeer originally planned for several ceramic jugs to hang on the wall behind the titular woman. Also, there was originally a woven basket on the floor in the lower right-hand corner of the painting. While it was originally assumed that Vermeer painted incredibly slowly to create a complete scene with few revisions, these new scans show something very different. That it\u2019s likely that, according to the museum, \u201cVermeer first quickly painted the scene in light and dark tones before developing the detail.\u201d While an artist adding or removing elements from an interior scene on a whim may not seem particularly noteworthy, it is actually eye-opening when it comes to Vermeer. Maybe this was just a one-time thing, or maybe this discovery will dramatically alter how academics and researchers view Johannes Vermeer\u2019s works and techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting on February 10, 2023, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam will open an exhibit featuring 27 of the 35 known paintings by the Dutch Golden Age master Johannes Vermeer.
