JAN VERMEER PAINTER

Jan Vermeer (1632-1675) was a renowned Dutch Baroque painter celebrated for his exquisite depictions of intimate interior scenes. Born in Delft, he became a master painter after an extensive apprenticeship, yet he struggled to gain recognition during his lifetime, producing only 35 surviving works. His paintings, characterized by precise composition and cool, silvery light, often portray figures engaged in everyday activities. Rediscovered in the late 19th century, Vermeer is now regarded as one of the greatest Dutch painters, with timeless masterpieces like "Girl with a Pearl Earring" and "The Milkmaid."

  2. JanVermeer1632-1675  Vermeer was a Dutch Baroque painter who excelled in portraying comfortable interior scenes that are composed with mathematical clarity and suffused with cool, silvery light.     Jan Vermeer, also called Jan van der Meer van Delft, was born in Delft and baptized on October 31, 1632.     After serving a 6-year apprenticeship, he was admitted in 1653 to the guild of Saint Luke of Delft as a master painter. Vermeer made a modest living as an art dealer rather than as a painter.     Only 35 of Vermeer's canvases have survived, and none appears to have been sold. Their small number is the result of Vermeer's deliberate, methodical work habits, comparatively short life, and the disappearance of many of his paintings during the period of obscurity following his death in Delft on December 15, 1675.      With a few exceptions, including some landscapes, street scenes, and portraits, Vermeer painted sunlit domestic interiors in which one or two figures are shown engaged in reading, writing, or playing musical instruments. Vermeer was a master of composition and in the representation of space.     Vermeer was forgotten after his death and not rediscovered until the late 19th century. His reputation steadily increased thereafter. He is today considered one of the greatest Dutch painters.
