A better basis for an article on this subject
[edit]Not a good article currently. There are no published sources given for this naive misunderstanding. Vermeer's heirs referred to this painting under its present title, The Art of Painting The actual subject of the painting is The Artist Painting an Allegory of Fame. Fame is identified by her trumpet. The brass chandelier and black and white tiles are commonplaces of well-off burgher houses in seventeenth-century Holland: Vermeer was a banker. The mask is part of the iconography of mimetic representation of reality, of which painting was a tool. The painting is discussed more sensibly for the general public here. --Wetman 00:18, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
GusGarp83 (talk) 06:42, 2 December 2014 (UTC) There is a mistake. Vermeer's largest painting is not "The Procuress", but "Christ in the House of Martha and Mary".
