Discussion: Frick Guetator Curator Robert Fucci on “Vermeers Love Books”

This week, the frick collection has opened VERMEER books “,” Show Summer Summer Running on August 31, 2025, that includes a museum The Woman and Mascement (C.1664-67), and Rijksmusum’s Love Book (C.1669-1670 and the National Irish’s National Galari The woman writes a letter to her maids (C.1670-1671). There is usually acceptance that it has been a broad-sixth drawing by Johannes Vermeer, so there is a good opportunity to visit the rebuilding, which has made the show, telling us much about the emotions of the Epistolary Yermeer.
Vermeer paintings are known for their richest details. Can you talk to modern attitudes about letters and what they will show an observer in his time?
Literature in the drawings in these paintings have been able to show viewer that there is love or dating involvement. The presence of a girl is very important because it could sign the viewer that this might be private. This raises the accountability of accounts, especially according to the affected feelings and a girl’s role like her to the other feelings of both their efforts.
What does The Woman and Mascement How Important Work?
This seems like the start of three diagrams where Vermer chose to inspect the book theme with a girl. There are few features that are marked by this work. The other is just our view, because this is the largest place in three work and contains very great statistics. This brings us closer to the structures as feelings are playing. It especially affected a lady holding a pen as it pulls over the sheet. You are in the process of thinking rather than writing, a positive touch of the brightness of the difficulties of finding words. And realize that the girl has ‘appears’ from one side of the curtain (now difficult to see because of the black paint), the spectator should understand like a corner of the content of the book to think about and written. That he accepts a letter as he writes a certain drama of a maximized drama, and the Vermeer is closely registered with a slight concern in his hand by bringing gently to his chin.


What do viewers know about two other jobs delivered from Frick from Rijksmusum and Galari National Irish?
These are a variety of most interesting in the book and creative of the creation, which is in detailed to hide the Rijksmusum One Talk Transaction. The Dublin drawing likewise is a very good work, but notice that the Vermer will also decide to try to find a higher location and make-up. Here, the woman’s focus on the book becomes a virgin virus in the art, the maid goes away from the window, giving her a wife at the time and place of freedom.
These activities have hit me as a pre-personality, because of the inner life who have giving women at the time. How was Vermeer and such women?
The case can be made that the Vermeer is actually a woman Avant la LettleBy taking serious feelings around love, representatives are male and female in a way that forms feelings of emotion commonly addressing women because of any number number. That is what makes Motif Motif so beautiful, because her presence may be indicating that these women love each other to a certain extent.
For me, the three women when the painting focus seem to be more concerned than love, not those sometimes comply. Do you have any insight in the emotional identification of activities in the show?
He is accurate because none of them seems to be happy, indeed, in the procedure of the exchange of love, but that is why he creates empathy for their various tasks and reaction. Vermer takes its feelings seriously, and in that sense, these tasks are currently. Some of the artists then often use dating them for funny purposes, and without worrying about the viewers of women. The Frick painting protects Penun Ruijen and Maria de Knuijt, and recent research revealed that the wife may have taken another leading role in the project. Both of the two paintings were lovely in the wife of Vemeer, Charina Boles, as we know the Scriptures after her death, where they both succeeded (this was unsuccessful;
