Johannes Vermeer – Google Doodle celebrates Dutch painter, Johannes Vermeer
– video made by the YouTube channel with the logo in the video’s upper left hand corner. OaklandNewsNow.com is the original blog post for this type of video-blog content.
Johannes Vermeer, is widely regarded as one among the greatest Dutch painters of all time. On 11 November, 1995, an eponymous exhibition opened at Washington D.C.’s, National Gallery of Art, featuring 21 of his 35 existing works.
Johannes Vermeer was born in Delft, the Netherlands, at the height of the Dutch Golden Age, in 1632.
By the 1650s, Vermeer began to paint subtly lit interiors, with intricate symbology—a style that became his hallmark. He captured the commonplace in radiant and exquisite detail, creating masterworks, including, “The Girl with the Pearl Earring ” (1665), which is currently on display at the Mauritshuis museum, in The Hague, the Netherlands.
The artistic techniques Vermeer employed are still up for debate. Some art historians suggest, he traced images projected from a camera obscura (a predecessor to the photographic camera), but with no physical evidence to back up such claims, some Vermeer specialists remain unconvinced.
On the left, the Google Doodle artwork references, “The Allegory of Painting” (1666-1668), and in the middle, “Woman Writing a Letter, with her Maid” (1670-1671). In 1979, an X-ray revealed a hidden Cupid in Vermeer’s “Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window” (1657-1659), referenced on the right of the Google Doodle.
Researchers continued to analyze the canvas in 2017, determining that the Cupid was covered by another painter. In 2021, a German initiative completely restored the painting.
