Artwork Description:
The Red Room 2 is a relatively small painting featuring the red gallery of the Metropolitan Museum devoted to the art of the Italian Renaissance. The composition features a crowd of visitors, some conversing in the center of the painting, while others look at the museum offerings. This work reminds us of Johannes Vermeer's approach to figurative scenes in luxurious settings, a tradition in figurative art.
