Single Image Finalist - Katerina Belkina, Germany 'Besrat - Good News'. "This is an amalgamation of two works by Vermeer. The "maid with milk jar" and the "young woman reading a letter", called "maid" and "letter" subsequently.
Both paintings show young women in an interior space with a window on the left side, typical for Vermeer. The homage takes two stories, two perspectives so to say.
The subjects from an old master turns to a new meaning. Moreover, there is a media transfer from painting to photography is also ideally suited to Vermeer because it was in Vermeer's time that the artist was supposedly interested in camera obscure and optical devices were very much in development."
