While reading B. A. Shapiro's The Art Forger, my group and I have come across bunch of paintings- real and fiction- throughout the text. A lot of these paintings help the flow of the story and the story itself practically revolves around them.
Today, I will focus on The Concert by Vermeer. Created in 1664, this painting depicts two women and a man, each with an instrument. Vermeer created this masterpiece on a canvas with oil paint.
This priceless classic represents one of the best Vermeer's paintings, one that may possibly not be recovered. In 1990, it was stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in one of the most notorious heists involving art.Today, I will focus on The Concert by Vermeer. Created in 1664, this painting depicts two women and a man, each with an instrument. Vermeer created this masterpiece on a canvas with oil paint.
Knowing that Vermeer was the Dutch master of light, the title does him justice because I can't help but admire his use of light in the artwork. Although the painting does mostly have a dark color to it, the lights illuminates what would be dark corners in the painting.
