Walter Liedtke, Curator, Department of European Paintings, The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Metropolitan Museum curator Walter Liedke presents Vermeer's masterpiece The Milkmaid. The superb picture is on view in the exhibition of the same name, alongside the Met's five other paintings by Vermeer and a select group of works by other Dutch artists that place the work in its historical context. The details of the composition and subject matter of The Milkmaid and other paintings are explored in this lecture.
On the occasion of the four hundredth anniversary of Henry Hudson's historic voyage to Manhattan from Amsterdam, the Rijksmuseum has sent "The Milkmaid," perhaps the most admired painting by Johannes Vermeer (1632 - 1675), to the Metropolitan Museum. To celebrate this extraordinary loan, the Met presents "Vermeer's Masterpiece: The Milkmaid," a special exhibition that brings together all five paintings by Vermeer from its collection, along with a select group of works by other Dutch artists, placing Vermeer's superb picture in its historical context. Along with "The Milkmaid," important works by Pieter de Hooch, Gabriël Metsu, Nicolaes Maes, Emanuel de Witte, and Gerard ter Borch are on view. All were masters who, like Vermeer, were active during the remarkable period of exploration, trade, and artistic flowering that occurred during the Dutch Golden Age in the seventeenth century. "Vermeer's Masterpiece: The Milkmaid" marks the first time that the painting has traveled to the United States since it was exhibited at the 1939 World's Fair.

revelatory - i love this lecture and i love art
and now at almost 50 I am finally learning about the facts of life in art
Same here
WOW ! There’s more here than meets the eye. Excellent presentation.
The painting is called The Milkmaid. I don’t know who gave it that name. But a real milkmaid would not be working in the kitchen. A milk maid was a girl or woman who milked cows.She also used the milk to prepare dairy products such as cream, butter, and cheese.What we have here is a kitchen maid who is pouring milk!
Profound stuff.
@@georgesotiriou7051 I dare say milkmaids came into kitchens from time to time, and kitchen maids might have paid visits to stables. Why, I have been known to do frequent both kitchens and stables in my time.
The masses beseech you! We need better than 480p for the likes of Vermeer! Surely the Lords of The Met could see it prudent to give us visual succor.
marck ferrari, maybe you can download the picture from the Rijksmuseum, you can do that since the collection is online. Funny that, you can do that free of charge, oh, if used it will be royalty free.
thanx mate, you just saved me 28 minutes.
Sadly none of his works remain in my hometown,Delft, i can only hope to one day see at least one of them return home It would be worthwile a lifetime ag waiting. It would be a great day for Delft indeed.
Just learned who Walter Liedtke was in a lecture by Philip Steadman! RIP!
I have long admire the works of Vermeer above all Dutch Masters. During my 2.5 years training in a Photographic vocational school we studied Rembrandt lighting ad nauseum and it is, of course, still much in vogue among many filmmakers, artists and photographers. Myself however find it to be easily over-done. One scene is enough, two is too many. It is a drmatic, unrealistic accomplishment whenever acheived and modern viewers instinctively know this. Vermeers niche of course was 'realistic' also
Excellent!
Not so much an anti-Amsterdam sentiment. But i i do feel that it would be very nice if we would have one of the Vermeers "at home". Ematianally if you get my point the rijks has the nights watch we should have at least het straatje of vieuw of Delft.
During the process of copying this painting of the kitchen maid, I noticed the negative space formed by the right arm, the pitcher and the blue apron. Look at how light it is . If you look at the wall, you’ll understand that the negative space should really be darker than it looks in the painting. I think Vermeer made it intentionally lighter to create a contrast to the darker elements that form the space.
he painted a map on the wall first, and a sewing basket close to the footwarmer. He then covered them up again with white lead paint.. They discovered this while x-raying the painting! Maybe this will solve the mystery!
Vermeer is excellent for an interview to students and psychic patients. The task is to give a written report on what the girls in the paintings of Vermeer are thinking and what her wishes are. Other painters did not have a capacity to present a personality with such a deep inner emotional concentration.
Sadly the volume is to low for me to hear this properly.
Marilyn Pizziferri ....If you have some, listen with earphones. It helps!
Vermeer the master of camera obcura...Thanks to David Hockney who had the guts to come out and tell us with clear proofs what most artists already knew.
Yes.. You are right.. Artistic genius creates its own ideas more than relies on the old..
So sadly no Vermeers remain in my hometown of Delft.
Just from greetings, you know this is a guy who enjoys himself so much. Beautiful English pronunciation.
RIP Walter Liedtke

I actually enjoy his voice and cadence. Guess we all have different ears...
Lovely!!
Wonderful.
It's pretty obvious that the Velázzquez portrait of the young(is) man is NOT a self-portrait. A brief comparison with Las Meninas will clear that up.
1:02:00 Jug-staposition, am I right?
I wonder if Vermeer was really deliberately planning all the detail that Liedike attributes to him. I would like to think that Vermeer was a genius who painted what he saw. Yes- Vermeer was an educated man who had studied all the traditional methods of executing the "proper painting" of his day, but I would like to think that he was more talented than that. Vermeer was a genius who rose above the crowd.
Agreed.
Hockney NEVER said Vermeer wasn't a Master. Hockney suggests that people used all the tools at their disposal to make works. Tools don't make compositions, tools don't come up with palettes, and tools don't create works on their own. Not unlike using a canvas or paintbrush, some artists may have used lenses like fresco painters used cartoons to trace and workshops traced works to make copies of paintings.
Dude played himself
Not only I agree with hansendesigns,
Mr Liedke might be an authority by his own claim, but we should stop behaving in the artworld as if it is a church, art is not a religion so we should stop the dogma and all the logical fallacies that come along because it does more damage than good.
By using "Ad hominem" attacks and "argumentum ad verecundiam" against David Hockney (who is an artist, someone who works with the drawing and painting), and his extremely well built case, mr. Liedke pretends to validate his arguments and make us ignore proof pointing in certain direction.
No, it is enough, the artworld should assimilate the scientific approach and leave behind the church-like structures and reasonings of some curators and self proclaimed authorities and start demystifying the whole thing.
Stop the bullshit, we have had enough
The artist-intellectual Jim Overbeck says in the movie The Lost Genius [vimeo.co] by BBC editor-director Angelica Landry, that it takes the grace of God to provide the sight necessary to see increate light in iconic art. Holy monks who prayed as they painted cannot be classed with whores, rock idols and David Hockney's prostituted arse-hole. Divine art accesses sacred realms unless, of course, the viewer is part of the outer darkness which denigrates it. Overbeck's genius is to take iconic divinity and to put it into images exposing hell.
I wonder, is it possible to find out if any, or many, Vermeer works are in private hands? I have a copy my Opa painted years ago but I'm afraid that wont help you, frankly if it would I would happily give it. So this brings to mind, that perhaps a quiet campaign appealing to the owner to consider repatriating the painting in his will, given as gift to the city. Perhaps a museum name could be changed to reflect the donors gift 'in memory of'. Americans love that... must find one with a Vermeer
so I guess if you had a camera obscura you could produce such an iconic piece of work, yeah?
Hi
See Tim's Vermeer
Far fm being knowledgeable in the subject...but Vermeer is my favorite
I am intrigued you feel this way. Delft is a city, small city at that, with as much renown as any in Northern Europe, artistically I mean. Is there an anti-A'dam sentiment strong in this wish? I could understand that. I mean nothing by this, solely to understand. I am born in Canada to parents born in Friesland and Den Hague and I have what I call 'remigrated'. I have emigrated to The Netherlands from Canada as I knew I would since small child. I love Canada, but my love for the NL is profound.
Obscure Charm of the Bourgeoise.
Over the top seeking symbols in every still life object.....
Is it just me at 26:16 that Curator looks like Velasquez.
Addictive escapism...fine art is for some like myself.
Is this intellectual art critic just a bit too focused on sexuality in mundane items in the paintings?! Just maybe, these items and objects are relevant because they were common fair of well appointed kitchens, they may just add interest to the composition of the subject matter. Hmmmmm. Let’s just enjoy the artistic eye candy.
I have a degree in art and Vermeer my favorite artist of the period. I looked forward to watching this and enjoyed it a great deal until half way thru when he referred to Christ as "that guy" in the Martha and Mary painting.
Ugh, if you're going to mention Velázquez, learn to pronounce his name correctly.
Velaskwezz.
Yes, it always boggles the mind how these humanities people can never seem to master the basic nuts and bolts of their chosen field. My other bugbear is that the guy clearly has no idea what actually goes through an artist's mind as he or she creates.
but I digress
YAWN
I cannot listen to this voice.
Poor quality 👎
Tacky and rude to ridicule the beautiful American southern dialect. It’s far more melodic and warm than any other.
The speaker is ssssoooo boring his voice is so impossibly flat.No expression no feeling at all..Nice if you want to fall asleep
