• Resumen

  • The essay connects the personal beliefs of Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer concerning iconoclasm to his actual artwork, with specific focus given to his painting "Allegory of the Catholic Faith." The author speculates about the importance of the Catholic faith to Vermeer, explaining how this faith informed the painting and influenced its relatively wide stylistic diversion from the painter's other works.
