The Geographer Poster by Johannes Vermeer — Authentic The Geographer Art Print for Modern and Traditional Interiors

Light from the window falls across the geographer's face and robe as he looks up from his work, while a terrestrial globe stands on the cupboard and a sea chart hangs behind him. It celebrates the scientific curiosity of the Dutch Golden Age. This art print of The Geographer brings an air of discovery to studies, offices and libraries.

About Johannes Vermeer and The Geographer (1669)

Johannes Vermeer (1632–1675) painted The Geographer in 1669 as a companion to The Astronomer, using the same model, who some have suggested may be the Delft scientist Antoni van Leeuwenhoek. It is one of the few works Vermeer signed and dated. Painted in oil on canvas and measuring about 52 x 45 cm, it is in the Städel Museum in Frankfurt.
