Woman Holding a Balance

This work by Vermeer perfectly captures the tension between the worldly and the religious in 17th century Dutch culture. While the woman looks on at the gold and pearls, a painting of the Last Judgement looms behind her on the wall, calling her to reflect on things besides the material. Vermeer's subtle work with light illuminates and lends weight to the stakes of the painting.
