Bemerkungen

Minimal berieben, innen sehr gut und sauber / Minimally rubbed, inside very good and clean - CONTENTS -- Foreword -- Ton Brandenbarg -- Vermeer and the representation of science -- Klaas van Berkel -- Perspective box -- Rudi Ekkart -- Camera Obscura -- Anne van Helden -- Vermeer and spatial illusion -- Jorgen Wadum -- Land surveying -- Anne van Helden -- Vermeer and the significance of cartography in his time -- Kees Zandvliet - Looking at the Johannes Vermeer's paintings The Geographer and The Astronom, we are struck by the detailed rendering of the scientific world. We see figures poring over their work in rooms filled with land and sea charts, books, globes and measuring instruments. Vermeer was particularly interested in maps. -- Another characteristic feature of his oeuvre which bears out his interest in science and scholarship is the use of perspective. He determined the place of the horizon and vanishing point with the utmost precision, resorting to such recent devices as the camera obscura, employing geodetic techniques and fixing the vanishing point with pins and thread. -- This all goes to show that in an age of discoveries Johannes Vermeer was a child of his time.
