Light, Space, and Domesticity in the Paintings of Pieter de Hooch and Johannes Vermeer
This analysis will seek to understand how Pieter Hooch and Johannes Vermeer reveal light and space in their painting technique, as well as create women in a state of domestic bliss. By presenting Vermeer's "Young Woman with a Water Jug", as well as Hooches Woman "Nursing an Infant", we can see how these perspectives are brought forth in the artistic talent of the Dutch painter.
