A lavish illustrated monograph on Vermeer from Phaidon Classics - the perfect introduction to one of the greatest painters of the Dutch Golden Age

Phaidon's classic illustrated monograph on Vermeer celebrates one of the greatest painters of the Dutch Golden Age with luxurious, large-format images. Johannes Vermeer (1632-75) is one of the most beloved artists of the Dutch Golden Age. Vermeer's tranquil and meticulously painted interiors, of such subjects as women writing or reading love letters, and men and women drinking together or playing musical instruments, are acutely observed and have an enduring appeal. This sumptuously produced volume features full-colour reproductions of all 36 surviving works by the artist, along with numerous details that reveal the exquisite complexity of his paintings.
