Vermeer’s Woman in Blue Reading a Letter has many friends at the Timken Museum of Art after the delightful summer she spent here in 2015, thanks to a generous loan from the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. As evident in that masterpiece as well as in other of his works, including the recently (and dramatically) restored Woman Reading a Letter before an Open Window from Dresden, this seventeenth-century Delft master had a life-long fascination with the subject of women and letters. This lecture will examine how Vermeer captured, in quiet and subtle ways, the emotional impact for women of receiving a letter from an absent loved one.
