Johannes Vermeer
Johannes Vermeer is a Dutch Baroque painter who specializes in middle-class domestic interior scenes. Throughout his life he was a moderately recognized, provincial genre artist in Delft and The Hague. However, he produced relatively few paintings and was apparently not rich, leaving debts to his wife and children upon his death. Vermeer works slowly, carefully and frequently uses very expensive pigments. He is especially known for his proficient treatment and use of light in his work. “Almost all of his paintings,” wrote Hans Koningsberger, “apparently placed in two small rooms in his house in Delft; they display the same furniture and decorations in many different arrangements and they often represent the same people, mostly women. His humble popularity gave way to obscurity after his death.
