What the dairy hides
- When scanning the famous artwork of the painter Johannes Vermeer, a series of unexpected elements appear that the author then takes away.
The Rijksmuseum Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) in Amsterdam prepares an exhibition on the painter by February 2023. When the museum’s experts analyze one of the painter’s most famous works, the Lechero, through advanced scanning, have found different elements in the deeper layers of the painting; on the white wall we see in the final result, Vermeer initially painted a wicker basket and a jar rack.
According to the experts, the painter was successful with this correction, as the protagonist stands out much more for eliminating them. We know little about Vermee's working methods, and this discovery will help us learn more about the pictorial techniques the artist used.
