Johannes vermeer "painter in the studio" reproduction reserved spadem painting in very good condition. Superb painting, close to the original the art of painting (de schilderkunst), also called painting1, the studio or the allegory of painting, is a work by johannes vermeer produced around 1666 (between 1665 and 1670), exhibited at the kunsthistorisches museum in vienna (oil painting on canvas measuring 120 × 100 cm). It is therefore one of the artist's largest paintings. Stamp on the back: reproduction reserved spadem (society for the artistic property of designs and models) followed by mm. Tremois and de munster: the technique: "but is it canvas or paper in the reproductions of messrs. Tremois and de munster** * We can no longer distinguish one of these materials from the other. The reproduction on paper is fixed on the canvas, which seems to absorb it. A bath, the solution of which we do not know, which the inventors want to keep secret, allows this adhesion to be obtained. A hand press completes the process of making it indelible. It seems from then on that the paper, the existence of which x-rays would reveal, has melted into the canvas. The photographic reproductions – of which messrs. Tremois and de munster are not the authors – will now take on the appearance of paintings. Young girls, students of the beaux-arts or of well-known workshops, seize them. They place them in front of them, on easels, and, equipped with a brush which they dip in a bucket full of a plastic material whose consistency and color evoke those of the gouache, they focus on repeating the painter's "movements". We will not know, here again, the exact composition of this white latex-based paste, which becomes translucent when drying, restores the colors to their original brilliance and gives them a new density. Mounted on a frame, the reproduction on canvas and paper is then covered with a protective varnish. " format framed: 68 X 58 X 7cm. Format without frame: 56 X 46.
