Passage IV Vermeer's Artistry
The following paragraphs may or may not be in the most logical order. Each paragraph is numbered in brackets, and question 59 will ask you to choose where Paragraph 4 should most logically be placed.
[1] Johannes Vermeer's The Art of Painting combines realistic
representation with metaphorical details (46)to prompt the viewer to
think about how art works. Vermeer is best known for
portraying women in everyday domestic moments, (47)since he
showed them making lace, reading, or doing chores. This
painting, however, centers on male (48)artist; critics believe
represents Vermeer himself, as he paints a female model. Thus,
the painting seems to offer the artist's commentary on his art.
[2] (1) Yet some details are inconsistent with the work's
prevailing realism. (2) in one place, the painter's hair fades
gradually into the background colors of the map behind him.
(3) In (49)another, blurring of background details, the folds of
drapery on the table are out of focus, creating an impressionistic
effect. (4) Basic tools (50)which the painter would need access in
order to paint, like a palette, are absent from the image. (5) It
also appears that, were the painter to stand up, he'd bang
his head on the chandelier above him. (6) (51)Suggesting the artist's
metaphorical stature within the scene and reaffirms his
significance. (52)
[3] Together, the realistic and metaphorical details make
Vermeer's work (53)stand out even from other Dutch masterpieces
that also depict art being made. Emanuel de Witte's Interior with
a Woman at the Clavichord, for instance, also shows a domestic
space as the site of artistic performance. Yet de Witte's work
does not emphasize the role of an artist's decisions in creating
the semblance of realism the way Vermeer's does. Vermeer's
image directly reminds us that an artist's choices (54)are based on
that artist's personal experiences.
[4] The realistic precision of The Art of Painting is striking.
Details are so clear that, for instance, historians have (55)diagnosed
the exact document Vermeer must have (56)referenced in his
depiction of a map that hangs on the wall in the painting.
Vermeer's mastery of many of painting's components,
(57)including such fundamental elements as light and color,
(58)result in an image that appears as accurate as a photograph.
Question 46
Which choice best indicates where Vermeer was born and worked?
Please find the underlined section next to (46) and choose one of the four choices below.
NO CHANGE
in one of Dutch painter's most self-referential works.
to produce a complex statement about the politics and practice of painting.
in a painting owned by the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.
