Summary: In preparation for the Vermeer exhibition at the Rijksmuseum, an international team of Vermeer experts, under the direction of Pieter Roelofs and Gregor J.M. Weber, conducted extensive research into the life and art practice of the Delft painter. This has resulted in new insights about his social position, his household, his faith, his technique and the influence of his environment on his art. By connecting the latest knowledge about his personal life to his work, we now come closer to Vermeer than ever before. This book, designed by Irma Boom, immerses the reader in the immensely varied pictorial world of the seventeenth-century Dutch master. All 37 of the works attributed to him are included here, and the extraordinary close-up details of these paintings afford us new opportunities to gaze in wonder at Vermeer’s artistry.
