O obrazu
Tall buildings leave little sky above the people chatting in Jacobus Vrel's Street Scene, about 1654–1662, in the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles. Shops and markets crowd the street among brickwork and paving stones. Vrel worked outside the usual training, without conventional perspective or shadows cast by his figures, and did not prime his canvases. The picture once belonged to Étienne-Joseph-Théophile Thoré, who wrote as Willem Bürger. Having helped rediscover Vermeer in the nineteenth century, Thoré believed this panel was by Vermeer himself. On view in the South Pavilion, gallery S106.
Slovy muzea
With an approach completely different from that of his contemporaries, Jacobus Vrel captured the feeling of everyday life on a town street where tall buildings with shops and markets crowd out the sky and people have time to chat amid the bricks and cobblestones. Never trained in the popular manner, Vrel did not use perspective and he never primed his canvases. His figures do not cast shadows. Yet his primitive, independent style imparts a naive intimacy and truth to the moments he chose for his panels. His humble approach, imbued with sincerity and compassion for the average person, shows sensitivity toward the quiet moments that make up the bulk of most people's lives. This picture was once owned by Etienne-Joseph-Théophile-Thoré [pseud. Willem Bürger], who rediscovered Johannes Vermeer in the 1800s and believed that this panel was by Vermeer himself.
