Lavishly illustrated with full-page color reproductions and details of the 23 paintings exhibited, the catalog also includes color plates of all of Vermeer’s other surviving paintings. An art-historical interpretation for each painting is followed by a discussion of provenance, further bolstered by evidence of Vermeer’s working methods. Discussions and theories on such issues as the identity of Vermeer’s patrons and his use of the camera obscura are included. This book examines the creative process and technical means by which the great Dutch seventeenth-century painter achieved his remarkable pictorial effects. En la actualidad, Vermeer es uno de los pintores neerlandeses más famosos. The great 17th-century Dutch painter is first discussed in the context of his native city of Delft, and the essays that follow examine Vermeer’s “modern” themes, his critical reputation and development, and his use of perspective. Essays from an international team of scholars present ideas about Vermeer’s creative process, critical fortune, and technical means. Wheelock Jr., with Albert Blankert and Jørgen Wadum Published 1995 230 pages. This catalog accompanied the first exhibition ever devoted exclusively to Johannes Vermeer. The Concert and The Music Lesson are two paintings that point out the difficulties of interpreting precisely the meanings of Vermeers works. Wheelock Jr., with Albert Blankert and Jørgen Wadum
