Around 1656 -1670 · seduction, music and social thresholds
Glass up, lesson interrupted, laugh with a soldier or matchmaker scene: Vermeer uses wine and company to make the interior hesitate between courtesy, desire and warning.
The wine and meeting scenes mainly belong to the beginnings and middle of Vermeer's career. The Entremetteuse, dated 1656, still shows large figures close together around a sexual transaction, wine and money; the young man on the left could be a self-portrait. In Soldier and Laughing Girl, the soldier seen from behind occupies a huge foreground while the woman receives the light near the window; this difference in scale dramatizes proximity. The Glass of Wine transforms the drink offered into a gesture of seduction, under emblems and images that can warn against excess. The interrupted Music Lesson finally suspends a relationship with moment when the characters turn towards us. These paintings never deliver a certain moral: accessories, looks and distances maintain several interpretations. The selection "Wine and meetings at Vermeer" notably compares L’Entremetteuse and Soldat et Jeune Fille Riante. His reading favors movement.
At Vermeer, wine doesn't just tell the story of a party: it measures trust, risk and distance between two people.
