    No other painter from 17th-century Holland expressed a greater interest in cartography than Jan Vermeer. His detailed depictions of maps and globes coincide with the great age of exploration and mapmaking. This lecture by the leading authority on Vermeer’s use of cartographic material demonstrates that all of the maps and globes in Vermeer’s paintings can be identified, though few originals still exist. These cartographic objects and the ways in which Vermeer used them not only add further meaning to his allegorical subjects and scenes of everyday life; they also shed light on Vermeer’s working method, including his possible use of the camera obscura.

    The Allegory of Art is mesmerizing. I stood looking at it for a couple of hours. Streams of people walked right by.

    Simply fantastic! The information, the pace of the lecture, the paintings- all are great! I would have loved to have taken his course when in college, although I was too young then to fully appreciate it. Gary

    Tim didn't use a dark room, or stand on his head in Tim's Vermeer. He used a lens and two mirrors. Tim sat at a table. Did he even see the film? Art Historical COPE.

    2.00 The reason for the massive tree cut in Holland was for agriculture and house building. The ship masts of the 17th century were made from pine trees, which specially for that purpose, were taken from Scandinavia to be planted in the Belgian Ardens, the German Eifel and the French region of Vosges.

    Overall, a sorbet of high mindedness. Besides the quibbles, a new reason to "nerd out" over the truly incomparable Vermeer, well, that's cause for celebration. Metaphorically Cheers.

    I lived in mass as a child. When we moved to Kansas, everyone (in mass) was scared about the Indians and the sod houses. Hmmm.. Kansas was WAY more modern, and the schools were much better. Nationally recognized. (They were WAY ahead of me) They were doing things I'd never heard of. I had to learn wher Iowa was... chuckle...
    Luv your talk. Luv Vermeer... been to Delft... seen the studio...

    Rembrandt is art for the rich and powerful. Vermeer is art for the rest of us.

    I always suspected that seeing Vermeers low lifetime output of his own actual art, I believe he himself was making a living, drawing maps for cartogists. Think of the skill that is required in hand drawing such maps at the time with the medium available. Only an artist quality hand could do such a thing.

    AT 50 minutes in, I will point out the figure (reported to now be known) as Anthony von Leeuwenhoek ( a Dutch businessman and scientist in the Golden Age of Dutch science and technology) posing as the Geographer (1669) & the Astronomer (1668)

      No, Vermeer used the best of everything for his paintings.

      He sounds nasal, he keeps inhaling quickly through his nose to catch post-nasal drip and stifling a cough, he has a cold. He is weathering through this quite well!
