Around 1656 -1672 · Delft interiors, letters, music and light
At Vermeer, reading, playing music or waiting becomes a silent event: the light builds a space of concentration, desire and interpretation around women.
Johannes Vermeer painted a restricted corpus in Delft where women occupied an essential place. Young women reading a letter, musicians, mistresses and servants stand in interiors set by the window, the wall, the table and the tiled floor. These scenes are Dutch genre painting, rich in allusions to love, virtue, status and domestic life. Vermeer, however, makes them difficult to reduce to a single morality. However, Vermeer makes them difficult to reduce to a single morality. However, a letter remains illegible, a look is interrupted and music seems to begin out of time. Blue, yellow, pearls and reflections lead the eye without dissolving geometry. The instruments also signal culture and position social, while the presence of a servant recalls the hierarchies of the house. Each woman thus appears both close and inaccessible. The "Women at Vermeer" selection notably compares Lady in Blue reading a letter and A woman playing the guitar. His reading favors color.
Vermeer doesn't tell the whole story: he adjusts the light so that waiting, reading or music becomes visible without losing their secret.

Letters, light and music
Side window, selected objects and female figures give the interiors their most famous balance.
Late variations and silence
Virginal, guitar, allegory and domestic relations extend a slow painting until the final crisis.
