Overview of this event
Johannes Vermeer is often grouped among the great Dutch painters of the Golden Age, yet his work continues to stand apart from that of his contemporaries. Since his rediscovery in the 19th century, scholars have been fascinated by what makes Vermeer's paintings feel so distinctive — and so quietly compelling.
This illustrated talk explores a central question in Vermeer's work: what is the true subject of his paintings? Is it the figures engaged in music or conversation, the carefully rendered interiors, or the extraordinary treatment of light and shadow that animates every surface?
Albert Godetseky reviews Vermeer's art alongside the personal, social and historical circumstances that may have shaped his unique vision, offering fresh insight into one of art history's most intriguing painters.
Welcome drinks from 6.00pm for a 6.30pm start.
