Although Johannes Vermeer is famous for his masterpiece “Girl with a Pearl Earring,” not much is known about who modeled for the painting. The curiosity aroused by the mystery brought about several theories about the true identity of the model.
The first candidate is Maria Vermeer, who was the eldest daughter of Johannes Vermeer. Johannes Vermeer found the source of inspiration from daily life. His artworks focused on everyday life scenes from neighborhoods in Delft as a result. This artistic style of Vermeer drove critics to formulate a theory that Vermeer's daughter may have posed for the portrait. To support the idea, one critic even commented that only a father could sketch such portraits.
Magdalena Van Ruijven, who was the only daughter of Vermeer's patron, Pieter Van Ruijven, was also proposed as a candidate. The Vermeer and Van Ruijven families were close neighbors, making it possible that the painting was a request for his daughter from Van Ruijven. This can be further speculated considering the fact that the painting was given to Magdalena Van Ruijven as a wedding gift.
The last theory is the tronie theory. Tronie refers to a popular genre of 17th-century Dutch paintings that portrays exaggerated facial expressions of fictional characters. This genre may have influenced the painting of Vermeer profoundly, making him focus on the representation of an imaginary figure: in this case, an anonymous girl in exotic clothing and a huge pearl in her ear. With the balanced use of light and darkness, the painter focuses on the facial expressions and effectively depicts the delicate emotion of the girl in the painting. Such characteristic is similar to what the tronie genre keyed on.
Recently, there has been a ton of debate as to the identity of the model of the Johannes Vermeer's masterpice. More specifically, in regards to the passages, the writer put forth the idea that there are three way we can elaborate this model's identity. However the lecturer is quick to poin out that there are some serious flaws in the write's claims. In facts, the professor believes the three posibility of the explanation of model are inaccurate, and addresses, in detail, the trouble with each point made in the reading rtext.
To begin with, the author states that the model may be the painter's elder daughter. Some professors in the same field, however, stands in firm opposition to this claim. In the listening, for example, the professor claims that it never be the painter's daughter. He goes on to say that different unknown model were found at that time for painting. The model should be from these girls.
Secondly, one group of scholar represented by the writer thinks that the model may be the Vermeer's patron name Pieter Van. Of course, though, not all experts, in the same field believe this is accurate. Again the professor specifically addresses this point when he claims that the 17th century the potrit was the symbol of dignity so, the picture is not only for the purpose. Additionally he notes that the light balance indicate it is not the picture of the Pieter Van's daughter .
Finally, the author wraps his argument by positing that it may be the portrait of a immaginary figure. Not surprisingly, the lecturer takes issue on this matter by contending that as the facial expression is said that it is not an immeginary figure.It must be a potrait of any unanyomous girl.
To sum up, both the writer and professor hold conflicting view about the identity of the model of the Johannes Vermeer's masterpice. It is clear that they will have trouble in finding common grouds on this issue.
