JOHANNES VERMEER 1632-75

The Art of Painting (The Artist's Studio)  (1666/8)

No.226

It's only in recent times that Vermeer has been recognised as one of the greatest Dutch artists. His subject matter is usually a woman at home involved in reading, writing, playing a musical instrument or carrying out some domestic task. Not a great deal is known about his life and there are only about 35 paintings of which we can be sure that he was the painter.

"Vermeer's most remarkable trait is the quality of his light" - Theolphile Thore (French writer on art)
