Until 8 October 2023

Some 35 paintings by Vermeer are known today and one of the artist’s main works is part of the permanent collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna: The Art of Painting. The painting depicts an artist in his studio with a model posing as Clio. The Greek muse of history inspires the painter and proclaims the glory of painting in the Old Netherlands, which she has immortalised in the book of history. With this allegorical painting Vermeer created one of the major works of the Dutch Baroque.
This year, as part of a special hang, The Art of Painting will be flanked by two works by pioneering female artists, Maria van Oosterwijck (1630–1693) and Maria Lassnig (1919–2014), to bring a female perspective of Vermeer into focus.
