On the trail of Vermeer’s “Painter in his Studio”

In its first major exhibit of 2010, the Museum of Fine Arts is focusing on Johannes Vermeer’s “Painter in his Studio” and embarking on a search for art historic clues.

The "Painter in his Studio" is the most famous and the largest painting by the Dutch Baroque painter Johannes Vermeer . It is one of two allegory paintings that the painter did between 1666 and 1668. The special thing about this painting is that its served as a showpiece for potential buyers and it never left the studio during the painter's lifetime. It is still considered today to be Vermeer's artistic bequest .
