Vermeer: The Complete Paintings

Explore Johannes Vermeer's remarkable legacy with this exquisite volume of detailed recreations and essays. Discover the captivating art of one of the world's most celebrated painters. Analyze his works and their impact on the Dutch Golden Age and contemporary art. Delve into Vermeer's signature technique of expressing a vivid narrative with a single gesture or glance.

Despite numbering only 35 works, Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) has achieved a lasting renown far beyond his native Delft and a small circle of patrons. His legacy and fame have grown over the centuries with a New York Times best-seller, a movie starring Scarlett Johansson and Colin Firth, unprecedented museum attendance, and a devoted fan base globally. His works, initially misattributed to other artists, were rediscovered in the mid-19th century and hailed for Vermeer’s masterful interplay of light, texture, and narrative detail. This 40th anniversary edition of Vermeer’s complete catalog captures these details and celebrates his timeless ability to craft stories within a single look, gesture, or expression.
