Brothel scenes were painted by the following Dutch Golden Age painters: Frans van Mieris the Elder, Gerard ter Borch, Jan Steen and Adriaen Brouwer. Perhaps the most famous painting of that school relating to prostitution is The Procuress by Johannes Vermeer.
Modern art
One of the defining narrative elements of painting in modern art was portraying prostitutes and brothels sympathetically and compassionately.
