The Geographer (Dutch: De geograaf) is a painting created by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer in 1668–1669, and is now in the collection of the Städel museum in Frankfurt, Germany. It is closely related to Vermeer's The Astronomer , for instance using the same model in the same dress, and has sometimes been considered a pendant painting to it.

The Geographer used the same model and other elements as The Astronomer. Portrayals of scientists were a favourite topic in 17th-century Dutch painting [1] and Vermeer's oeuvre includes both this astronomer and the slightly later The Geographer. Both are believed to portray the same man, [2] [3] [4] possibly Antonie van Leeuwenhoek. [5]
A geographer is a physical scientist, social scientist or humanist whose area of study is geography, the study of Earth's natural environment and human society, including how society and nature interacts. The Greek prefix "geo" means "earth" and the Greek suffix, "graphy", meaning "description", so a geographer is someone who studies the earth. [1]
