Art Appreciation: Vermeer and the Dutch Interior
The core of the course is a close but leisurely engagement with the work, first of Johannes Vermeer himself, secondly of his closest contemporaries, and thirdly of the emerging new world of the Dutch Golden Age. We shall consider Vermeer's work chronologically, though there will be some grouping to allow discussion of thematic interests and concerns. The works particularly of Gerrit Dou, Gabriel Metsu and Pieter de Hoogh will never be far from us as points of comparison.
