Vermeer: Painted Traces of the Sphinx of Delft

Johannes Vermeer, man of mystery, is often called the Sphinx of Delft. No letters, no diaries, no drawings, no sketchbooks exist and there are very few official documents in which his name appears. We know Vermeer through his painted traces. The current major exhibition at the Rijksmuseum, which is the largest collection of his paintings ever assembled, and the new technological research prompted by this unprecedented event, thus promise to reveal more both about his working practice and his life.

Rosmond Kinsey Milner, retired Senior Lecturer in The Cass Faculty of Art at London Metropolitan University, is a practising artist and for the past nine years has been a volunteer at Kenwood House where she gives house tours and regular talks on Vermeer and other artists. She plans to talk about what the Rijksmuseum exhibition tells us of Vermeer and also about the one that got away - The Guitar Player at Kenwood House - and why this painting is unique in his oeuvre.
