Johannes Vermeer (1632 – 1675) was a Dutch painter who is considered one of the greatest artists of the 17th century. He was born in Delft, Netherlands and is known for his genre paintings, which depict everyday life scenes with great detail and a sense of tranquility. Vermeer’s works often feature natural light, domestic interiors, and female subjects.
Vermeer’s most famous works include “Girl with a Pearl Earring,” “The Milkmaid,” and “The Art of Painting.” His paintings are notable for their use of perspective, color, and composition. Vermeer was also a master of the camera obscura, a device that projects an image onto a surface, which may have helped him achieve the level of realism and detail in his works.
Despite his artistic talent, Vermeer was not widely recognized during his lifetime and died in obscurity. It wasn’t until the 19th century that his works were rediscovered and he became recognized as a master of Dutch painting.
