Johannes (or Jan) Vermeer is now recognized as one of the great Dutch painters, but while he was alive he could barely make ends meet, and his artistic achievement was almost entirely ignored for 200 years after his death. Vermeer is admired for his realistic style, his preoccupation with light, perspective and poetic meaning behind the objects he chooses to paint. Vermeer conveyed a simple moment in time. He bathed a room in sunlight and the artist painted it reverently stroking each object and defining each shape with light. Almost all of Vermeer's paintings are in house scenes (even the two landscapes that we know are seen from within through a window). He painted mostly genre pieces and portraits. His paintings cover all layers of society, at one time portraying a simple milkmaid at work, at other works showing the luxury and splendor of rich notables and merchantmen in their roomy houses. Fewer than forty of his paintings exist. You can purchase this reproduction oil painting framed or unframed in any size and it will certainly grace your wall for many years to come.
