Description

Johannes Vermeer (1632–1675) is one of the great masters of the Dutch Golden Age, renowned for his intimate interior scenes and masterful handling of light. Though his oeuvre is small, each of his paintings stands out for its serenity, precision, and introspective atmosphere. Girl with a Pearl Earring, one of the most iconic images in Western art, has achieved a level of recognition comparable to that of the Mona Lisa. Yet Vermeer’s life and creative process remain largely a mystery. This volume situates his work within the context of 17th-century Dutch genre painting, revealing his delicate ability to capture the everyday with quiet depth.
