Woman Reading a Letter by Johannes Vermeer
For this first post, I am featuring Woman Reading a Letter by Johannes Vermeer (1632 – 1675). I was privileged to see this amazing artwork at the Rijks Museum in Amsterdam in 2024.
The painting portrays a young woman absorbed in reading a letter in the morning light. She is still wearing her night jacket. The artist made extraordinary use of the colour lapis lazuli blue in this composition, and this is the colour that draws the viewers’ attention first. In addition, Vermeer’s use of light is extraordinary. His rendering of the woman’s skin with pale grey and the shadows on the wall painted in light blue are considered to be particularly innovative.
