Introduction Of My Favorite Art - The Girl With A Pearl Earring

The painting of the girl with a pearl earring is painted by Johannes Vermeer. It was painted in 1665 with oil paint and is a very famous portrait. The story behind this painting according to Chevalier is that the girl in the painting is a servant named Griet who has an aesthetic meeting of the minds with her master and sits for the painting wearing his wealthy wife's jewels in her ear. This painting's title became known towards the end of the 20th centuries. With the 1995 blockbuster exhibition at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the publication of the best-selling novel Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier in 1999 the painting became famous in the 21th century.The girl with a pearl earring represents wealth, and a sense of foreign beauty and mystique.


The painting of the girl with a pearl earring  is my favorite art and is very attractive because it is very well painted as Johannes vermeer made the painting very clear and is very well seen because he made the background very dark and the young lady very light which made a huge contrast. This makes most of the people look at the lady’s face first because it is the lightest before looking at the body and then the background because they are way darker and don’t show as much contrast as the face. This is basically the main and biggest  reason why this is my favorite art piece and is very attractive to most people.


One of the biggest reasons why the painting of the girl with a pearl earring is very attractive and is very beautiful is because of the skill the artist had put into it. For example in the amazing oil painting the lady’s face was very well painted with elegance. We could see that almost every detail on the face was painted with care and looked a lot like a real face which makes the painting look very realistic and beautiful at the same time. This is one of the biggest reasons why the painting is my favorite painting and also so famous and attractive to almost every human being.


The biggest reason why the painting of the girl with a pearl earring is so famous and beautiful is because it was first well painted and had a good combination of color because imagine if the lady was pink, blue, and green while the background was brown, red and black, it would most likely make an probably make the painting look ugly and it would no longer mache and look good and would most likely not have been as famous as today.  That is most likely and probably the biggest reason why the painting has become so famous and is so beautiful.
