“Woman Holding a Balance” by Johannes Vermeer (Dutch) - Oil on canvas / c. 1664 - National Gallery of Art (Washington DC) #WomenInArt #Art #artwork #artText #Vermeer #JohannesVermeer #NGA #balance #DutchArt #DutchArtist #allegory #NationalGalleryofArt #OilPainting #FineArt #BlueskyArt #DutchBaroque
“Woman Holding a Balance” is a superb example of Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer’s exquisite sense of stability and rhythm. A very pale woman dressed in a peacock blue jacket with a white hood and white fur trim plus a voluminous mustard yellow skirt stands (facing our left) serenely at a table in a corner of a room with a window partially covered by a canary-yellow curtain. Small scales in her right hand are at equilibrium, suggestive of her inner state of mind. A large painting of the “Last Judgment,” framed in black, hangs on the back wall. A shimmering blue cloth, open boxes, two strands of pearls, and a gold chain lie on the sturdy table. Soft light comes in through the window and illuminates the scene. The unidentified woman is so pensive that we almost hesitates to intrude on her quiet moment of contemplation. The visual juxtaposition of the woman and the “Last Judgment” is reinforced by thematic parallels: to judge is to weigh. This scene has religious implications that seem related to Saint Ignatius of Loyola’s instructions, in his Spiritual Exercises, that the faithful, prior to meditating, first examine their conscience and weigh their sins as if facing Judgment Day. Only such introspection could lead to virtuous choices along the path of life. “Woman Holding a Balance” thus allegorically urges us to conduct our lives with temperance and moderation. The woman is poised between the earthly treasures of gold and pearls and a visual reminder of the eternal consequences of her actions. Vermeer emphasized this message through his superbly refined composition and lighting. The hand holding the balance occupies a position directly in front of the frame’s dark corner, while the scales are set off against the bare plaster wall for an effect that Vermeer created through subtle spatial manipulation. For instance, the bottom of the frame for the “Last Judgment” is slightly higher to the left of the woman than it is behind her back, creating room for the balance.

The Lacemaker
Johannes Vermeer, 1670

“Vermeer is not a sun painter, but rather a moon-painter – like Uccello – that’s good, it is the pure, final stage of art, the moment when it becomes more real than reality.”

~Arshile Gorky
