of the most exquisite paintings in Western
art. |

Little is known for certain
about his life and career. Johannes Vermeer was born
in 1632, the son of a silk worker with a
taste for buying and selling art. Vermeer artist
himself was also active in the art trade.
He lived and worked in Delft all his life. Not
much is known about his apprenticeship
as an artist either. His teacher may have
been Leonaert Bramer, a Delft artist who was
a witness at his marriage in 1653, or
the painter Carel Fabritius of Delft. In
1653 Vermeer enrolled at the local artists guild.
His earliest signed and dated painting, The
Procuress (1656; Gemaldegalerie Alte
Meister, Dresden), is thematically related
to a Dirck van Baburen painting that he
owned and that appears in the background of
two of Vermeer paintings. Another possible
influence was that of Hendrick Terbrugghen,
whose style anticipated the light color
tonalities of later Vermeer paintings. - free
biography are here, as well as Johannes Vermeer the art of painting of The Milkmaid,
Girl With a
Pearl Earring. During the late 1650s, Vermeer artist, along with
his colleague
Pieter de Hooch, began to place a
new emphasis on depicting figures within
carefully composed interior spaces. Other
Dutch painters, including Gerard Ter Borch
and Gabriel Metsu, painted similar scenes,
but they were less concerned with the
articulation of the space than with the
description of the figures and their
actions. In early Vermeer paintings such as The
Milkmaid (c.1658; Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam),
the artist struck a delicate balance between
the compositional and figural elements, and
he achieved highly sensuous surface effects
by applying paint thickly and modeling his
forms with firm strokes. Later Johannes Vermeer turned to
thinner combinations of glazes to obtain the
subtler and more transparent surfaces
displayed in Vermeer paintings such as Woman with a
Water Jug (c.1664/5; Metropolitan Museum of
Art, New York City). |

| Biography: Although Johannes Vermeer may have sought to depict the camera's effects in his View of Delft (c.1660; Mauritshuis, The Hague), it is unlikely that Vermeer would have traced such an image, as some commentators have charged. Moralizing references occur in several of Johannes Vermeer paintings, although they tend to be obscured by the paintings' vibrant realism and their general lack of narrative elements. In his Love Letter (c.1670; Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam), a late painting in which the spatial environment becomes more complex and the figures appear more doll-like than in earlier Vermeer paintings, the artist includes on the back wall a work of a boat at sea. Because this image was based on a contemporary emblem warning of the perils of love, it was clearly intended to add significance to the figures in the room. |

After his death Vermeer artist was overlooked by
all but the most discriminating collectors
and art historians for more than 200 years.
His few pictures were attributed to other
artists. Only after 1866, when the French
critic W. Thore-Burger "rediscovered" him,
did Johannes Vermeer paintings become widely known and
his works heralded as genuine Vermeers. -
Toperfect Art supplies Dutch paintings and
Vermeer biography, supplies handmade art
copies of The Milkmaid,
Girl With a Pearl
Earring in art museum quality. Intimate scenes Barely 35 paintings are known to have been painted by him. Early Vermeer paintings - mainly history pieces - reveal the influence of the Utrecht Caravaggists. In later Johannes Vermeer paintings, however, Jan van Delft produced meticulously constructed interiors with just one or two figures - usually women. These are intimate genre paintings in which the principal figure is invariably engaged in some everyday activity: one is reading a letter, another is fastening a collar about her neck, yet another is pouring out milk. Often the light enters Vermeer paintings from a window. Jan Vermeer van Delft was a master at depicting the way light illuminates objects and in the rendering of materials. The Rijksmuseum has three domestic portraits by Vermeer and one street scene: the world-famous Little Street. |
