Synopsis
"[The book] not only contains every one of Vermeer's authenticated works, but also makes available the most recent scholarly discoveries concerning his life. Particularly noteworthy is the inclusion of the painting 'Saint Praxedix', which the author has only recently authenticated as an important early work by the artist. [The author] brings alive the artistic climate of mid-seventeeth-century Delft, and discusses Vermeer's painting techniques, his use of the camera obscura and his creation of 'pictures within pictures'". -Dust jacket.Book Details
