Johannes Vermeer (1632 – December 15, 1675) was a Dutch painter. He focused his scenes on middle class life. Vermeer became a provincial and moderately successful painter in his life. He was never very wealthy, leaving his wife and children in debt at his death. Vermeer worked carefully and slowly, applying bright colors and sometimes expensive pigments. He is well-known for his extraordinary use and treatment of light in his art. Learn more »
