Vermeer's Secrets

Kenwood House Volunteer, John Hayward, gives an online Spotlight Talk on works by Vermeer (1632-75), whose ‘Guitar Player’ (1672) hangs in Kenwood House, London. John Hayward’s talk, entitled ‘Vermeer’s Secrets’ delves into the mysteries behind the characters in Vermeer’s paintings and examines the techniques and method of Vermeer’s practice. In all of the 34 paintings known to be by Vermeer, his obsession with light, tonal values, shadow and colour suggests an accomplished use of a camera obscura. Hayward additionally discusses Vermeer’s particular focus on the depiction of women and their private lives in the Dutch 17th century. Introduction and fade out music: Francesco Corbetta (1615-1681), composer for the 5-course (10-string - as in Vermeer's picture) Baroque guitar (played by Jakob Lindberg). A contemporary of Vermeer, Corbetta was in high demand in the courts of Europe and travelled to Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and Germany. He moved to England with royal patronage, and was mentioned in Samuel Pepys' diary in 1667. Produced by Friends of Kenwood www.friendsofkenwood.org.uk
