Description
Considered by some to be one of Vermeer’s masterpieces, “The Milkmaid” is a work of art anyone should be proud to display in their home. When it was originally painted in 1657-58, Vermeer was clearly influenced by paintings featuring detailed realism. As a result, “The Milkmaid” is almost like a photograph from a time past, with the subject herself appearing very natural in her surroundings. Everything from the food on the table to the light coming in from the window are completely true to life. Despite that attention to detail, there’s still an undeniably painterly quality found in Vermeer’s soft brush strokes and bold color choices. There’s a peaceful, tranquil feeling one receives when viewing this masterpiece in person. Get that same effect in your very own home by ordering this oil painting reproduction of Vermeer’s “The Milkmaid” from overstockArt.
