The Concert (Vermeer)
''The Concert'' ( 1664) is a painting by Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer. The 69-centimeter-high by 63-centimeter-wide picture depicts a man and two women playing music. It belongs to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, but was stolen in 1990 and remains missing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The $500 Million Gardner Museum Heist: Have You Seen These Paintings? )〕 It is thought to be the most valuable unrecovered stolen painting, with a value estimated at over $200,000,000.〔(Stolen ), a documentary about the theft of ''The Concert'', from the PBS website.〕
== Description ==
The picture shows three musicians: a young woman sitting at a harpsichord, a man playing a lute, and a woman who is singing. The harpsichord's upturned lid is decorated with an Arcadian landscape; its bright colouring stands in contrast to the two paintings hanging on the wall to the right and left. Stringed instruments lie on and under the table in the picture's left foreground.
Of the two paintings in the background, the one on the right is ''The Procuress'' by Dirck van Baburen, a work which also appears in Vermeer's ''Lady Seated at a Virginal'', probably painted around six years after ''The Concert''. The painting on the left is a wild pastoral landscape. The musical theme in Dutch painting in Vermeer's time often connoted love and seduction,〔(Understanding The Concert by Johannes Vermeer )〕 a motif reinforced by the presence of Baburen's sexually exuberant picture.
