Allegory of the Faith, c1670. Artist: Jan Vermeer
Allegory of the Faith, c1670. Vermeers source derives from a standard handbook of iconography, Cesare Ripas Iconologia. Vermeer interpreted Ripas description of Faith with the world at her feet literally, showing a Dutch globe published in 1618. The divine world is rendered as a glass sphere reflecting the room. The painting of the Crucifixion on the wall copies a work by Jacob Jordaens. Among the many Christological symbols, the most prominent are the apple, emblem of the first sin, and the serpent (Satan) crushed by a stone (Christ, the cornerstone of the Church). Dating about 1670, the work strikes a balance between abstraction and haunting similitude. From the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, U.S.A

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures Jan Vermeer's "Allegory of the Faith" from around 1670, showcasing his masterful interpretation of Cesare Ripa's description of Faith. Vermeer ingeniously incorporates various Christological symbols into the painting, with the apple symbolizing the first sin and a stone representing Christ as the cornerstone of the Church. The artwork strikes a delicate balance between abstraction and haunting realism, demonstrating Vermeer's artistic prowess. In this piece, Faith stands at the center with a Dutch globe published in 1618 at her feet, emphasizing her dominion over worldly matters. The divine world is depicted as a glass sphere reflecting the room, adding depth to Vermeer's composition. A striking Crucifixion painting by Jacob Jordaens adorns one wall, further enhancing its religious significance. The allegorical figure exudes an aura of serenity and devotion while surrounded by rich tapestries and curtains that add warmth to the scene. A chalice sits on a table nearby, symbolizing Christian sacraments and reinforcing faith's importance within religious rituals. This artwork is part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection in New York City. Through this photo print, viewers can appreciate Vermeer's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey complex ideas through visual storytelling. It serves as a testament to both Dutch Baroque artistry and Vermeer’s enduring legacy in capturing profound moments in time through oil paintings.
