Description
Allegory of the Catholic Faith by Johannes Vermeer transforms a furnished interior into a carefully arranged sacred scene. A woman in white and blue looks upward beneath a suspended glass sphere, surrounded by a globe, a crucifix, an open book and a large religious painting.
The drawn-back tapestry invites the eye into the room, where patterned tiles and rich fabrics give the symbols a tangible setting. Allegory of the Catholic Faith combines this abundance of detail with measured light and a poised, contemplative figure.
