    JOHANNES VERMEER DELFT 1632 - 1675

Johannes Vermeer Biography

(b Delft, bapt 31 Oct 1632; d Delft, bur 16 Dec 1675). Dutch painter. He is considered one of the principal Dutch genre painters of the 17th century. His work displays an unprecedented level of artistic mastery in its consummate illusion of reality. Vermeer’s figures are often reticent and inactive, which imparts an evocative air of solemnity and mystery to his paintings.
