  2. Jan Vermeer “The Artist in his Studio” oil on canvas, 1665

  3. Description In the painting “The Artist in his Studio” by Jan Vermeer, I see a painter painting a woman. The woman is wearing a blue dress with a blue head piece. In the background there's a window that’s covered with a map of Netherlands. the contrast and lines are perfectly shaped and straight. I think Vermeer was painting a self portrait of him, painting a similar woman. Vermeer emphasized the title “The Artist in his Studio” because the art work is actually an artist in his studio.

  4. Analysis In my opinion I believe the story is what made this art piece such a famous & glorious painting. Also, I believe the part that stands out to me the most is the painter & his model. Vermeer emphasized the title “The Artist in his Studio” because the art work is actually an artist in his studio.

  5. Interpretation The beautiful painting “The Artist In His Studio” makes me feel like he was painting what he loved to do best I remember reading “The map on the back wall has a prominent crease that divides the Netherlands between the north and south. (West is at the top of the map, as was the custom.) The crease symbolizes the division between the Dutch Republic to the north and southern provinces under Habsburg rule. The map by ClaesJanszVisscher (NicolaumPiscatorem) shows the earlier political division between the Union of Utrecht to the north, and the loyal provinces to the south.”This make me think that Vermeer was very into the Netherlands.

  6. Judgment In my opinion this painting was very inspirational. It really tells a story. Also once you look at it, it really catches your eye. It really makes you think about how the painter was feeling or even thinking at this moment in time. Not only does his painting tell a story but also, it looks like a photo. The way he painted with the oil, it makes it look smooth and neat. If I could ask the artist any question it would be, “Was the person painting supposed to be you , Mr. Vermeer.”
