Description: Vermeer's Mistress and Maid by James Ivory, Margaret Iacono Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A beautiful book which will be a useful reference for all those interested in Vermeer, and a perfect gift Publisher Description The subject of writing and receiving letters, which recurs frequently in the work of Johannes Vermeer (1632–1675), is given dramatic tension in this masterful painting of two women in a mysterious moment of crisis. The artist seldom, if ever, surpassed the subtly varied effects of light seen here as it gleams from the pearl jewellery, sparkles from the glass and silver objects on the table, and falls softly over the figures in their shadowy setting. Each book in the Frick Diptych series illuminates a single work in the Fricks rich collection with an essay by a Frick curator paired with a contribution from a contemporary artist or writer.
