About the Artist
Vermeer was a master at capturing the moods of his
subjects, from his atmospheric effects, the glory of his light, the
sumptuous warmth of his domestic interior scenes, and the inexplicable
sensuality of so many of his works in every genre. Vermeer is best known
for the portrait of his maid, 'Girl with a Pearl Earring'. His luminous
colors even now shine with surprising glow after so many centuries, and
his draftsmanship inspires admiration. He had a taste for the poetic and
his mysterious use of symbols are secretive hints and glances into the
enigmatic world that lies behind the manufactured one.
