The Milkmaid by Vermeer, and all its Secret Knowledge

You can follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stories.of.art/ Join me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Storiesofart/?ref=bookmarks This is the Story of one of the masterpieces by Johannes Vermeer. We now know it as The Milkmaid, even though she is obviously a kitchenmaid. It is such a deceptively simple picture that nevertheless tells us all kinds of stories. Also, in this video, I touch upon the way Vermeer used perspective and perhaps even a Camera Obscura. And that brings us to the Secret Knowledge, mentioned in the title, but also in the title of the book and documentaries by David Hockney. I also mentioned this video in there: https://youtu.be/rKJLhr7HcBg
