About Johannes Vermeer and The Astronomer (1668)

Johannes Vermeer (1632–1675) painted The Astronomer in 1668, as a companion to The Geographer; it is one of the few works he signed and dated. During the Second World War it was seized from the Rothschild family by the Nazis and later returned. Painted in oil on canvas and measuring about 51 x 45 cm, it is in the Musée du Louvre in Paris.
