Description
Inspired by Jan Vermeer's "Girl with the Pearl Earring" I sought to depict the
alternative realities that I perceived within the contours of that masterpiece. Following the lines of Vermeer's work and the guidelines for enhancing creativity suggested by Leonardo da Vinci, I looked deeply into Vermeer's image and it revealed to me the hidden images that my mind's eye are wont to perceive. The image that emerged is an alternative reality depicting a dimension which is a combination of the two dimensional surface of the canvas and the three dimensional illusionary image that Vermeer portrayed in his masterwork. Therein, I perceived, peering through an opened doorway, a view of a barren hilltop. Descending from the hillside is a meandering road, along whose side is a cottage and a lamp pole in the middle ground. A little way from the road is another cottage. Along that same roadway, I perceive a cremson water sistern, with rain water settled therein. The little road meanders away from the house within which the viewer stands. There are stairs that lead out of that house . On the side of the stairs is a balustrade on top of which is a golden orb. The skies are blue, spotted with a few clouds. There is another lamp pole that is located along the road as it goes disappears behind the balustrade.
On this two dimensional surface (my canvas), I replicated an image inspired by Vermeer's masterpiece, a three dimensional illusion within which I found another dimension hitherto unseen by even Vermeer's eyes and all those who had previously beheld his image.
