Monday Morning Museum: Johannes Vermeer




Johannes Vermeer – Wednesday 31 October 1632 Delft, Netherlands to Wednesday 15 December 1675 Delft, Netherlands

Dutch Baroque Era Painter


Since Vermeer mainly painted intimate interiors, I like this expansive exterior – View of Delft, circa 1660-1661 – exception to the usual subject matter of his works.




Last Monday’s Artist – Joseph Mallord William Turner
Next Monday’s Artist – William Lamb Picknell
