Vermeer [Hardcover]

Comprehensive... Vermeer scholars...give insight into his life and influences while analyzing the paintings and their compositions in great detail... A feast for the yes as well as the mind... Worthy of any art history collection. One of the Best Art Books of 2023. With its many pages of hyper-zoomed close-ups, this dense and snoopy catalog gets you obscenely close to the real thing... The choice of matte rather than standard glossy pages (a matter of some controversy) respects the painters soft lighting. This is armchair museum-going at its finest.
