A fascinating exploration of the role of music in the art of Vermeer and many of his contemporariesJohannes Vermeer (16321675) is one of the worlds most captivating artists. Renowned for his sublimely beautiful depictions of everyday Dutch life, Vermeer created exquisite paintings that are sought out by any art lover. Music was a key facet of 17thcentury Dutch life, in both public and private. Of Vermeers thirtysix surviving paintings, twelve depict musical themes or a musical instrument. These include the magnificent Young Woman Standing at a Virginal, Young Woman Seated at a Virginal, The Music Lesson, and The Guitar Player, all featured in this book.The book also includes paintings by Vermeers contemporaries, such as Gerard ter Borch (16171681), Gabriel Metsu (16291667), and Jan Steen (c. 16261679). Vermeer and Music provides new insight into the cultural significance of these images. A historical overview of musical instruments and entertainment in the Dutch Republic, including the abundant publication of songbooks filled with love songs and poems, some richly illustrated, contextualizes the fascinating relationship between music and the visual arts.Published by National Gallery Company/Distributed by Yale University PressExhibition Schedule:The National Gallery, London(06/26/1309/08/13)
