"Woman in Blue Reading a Letter" by Johannes Vermeer
Great Works
Description
This ethereal painting is alive with mystery – what does the letter the woman is holding say? Dutch Golden Age artist Johannes Vermeer creates a vivid character for this unknown woman, and through light and colour imbues his work with an astonishing sense of calm. Richard Stemp explains how.
