Galerie Mont The Glass of Wine – Johannes Vermeer^ Vermeer

Part of the Dutch Baroque movement, Johannes Vermeer’s The Glass of Wine depicts a quiet moment of domestic intimacy. This genre scene, characteristic of the Delft master, offers both a realistic and metaphorical vision of everyday life at the time.

In a room bathed in natural light pouring in through a large window, a woman in light red and white is captured in the act of drinking wine, offered by a man leaning nonchalantly against a table. The black and brown tiles on the floor, the tablecloth and the stained-glass window add to the visual richness of the work. Vermeer’s use of a subdued colour palette and the play of light and shadow create an intimate and memorable atmosphere, a silent slice of life frozen in time.
