Jan Vermeer, one of the greatest Dutch masters, is responsible for some of the most iconic imagery in the history of art, such The Girl with a Pearl Earring ca. His artworks are a rarity, with only around 36 known paintings attributed to him. Jan Vermeer was born in in Delft. In the same year, he also married Catharina Bolnes. His mother in-law, , possessed a moderate collection of paintings by the Utrecht Caravaggistipainters that were profoundly influenced by the art of Caravaggio. In the latter part of Johannes Vermeer s, Vermeer gradually switched to , that depicted intimate scenes of domestic life. His most famous paintings were interior scenes of young women engaged in reading and writing, playing musical instruments and doing domestic work. In Young Woman with a Water Pitcher ca. In the quiet scene, Vermeer expressed the beauty and harmony found in everyday objects Johannes Vermeer activities. During his career, the artist showed interest in camera obscura, an optical tool that could project imagery on a flat surface. Some have argued that this interest extended into his method of painting, and that he used the device to plan the arrangements of his compositions. He died in in Delft, leaving his wife and children with enormous debt. Because he only garnered moderate success and encountered unfortunate circumstances at the end of his life, Vermeer was largely forgotten by history. He was a moderately successful provincial genre painter in his lifetime but evidently was not wealthy, leaving his wife and children in debt at his death, perhaps because he produced relatively few paintings. Vermeer worked slowly and with great care, and frequently used very expensive pigments. He is particularly renowned for his masterly treatment Johannes Vermeer use of light in his work. Vermeer painted mostly domestic interior scenes. He was barely mentioned in Arnold Houbraken's major source book on 17th-century Dutch painting Grand Theatre of Dutch Painters and Women Artistsand was thus omitted from subsequent surveys of Dutch art for nearly two centuries. Since that time, Vermeer's reputation has grown, and he is now acknowledged as one Johannes Vermeer the greatest painters of the Dutch Golden Age. Relatively little was known about Vermeer's life until recently. He seems to have been devoted exclusively to his art, living out his life in the city of Delft. Johannes Vermeer was baptized in the Reformed Church on 31 October His father Reijnier Janszoon was a middle-class worker of silk or caffa a mixture of silk and Johannes Vermeer or wool. As an apprentice in Amsterdam, Reijnier lived on fashionable Sint Antoniesbreestraat, a street with many resident painters at the time. Inhe married Digna Baltus. The couple moved to Delft and had a daughter named Johannes Vermeer who was baptized in Johannes VermeerReijnier was involved in a fight with a soldier named Willem van Bylandt who died from his wounds five months later. Around this time, Reijnier began dealing in paintings. Inhe Johannes Vermeer an inn, which he called "The Flying Fox". Inhe lived on Johannes Vermeer 25 or Inhe bought a larger inn on the market square, named after the Flemish town "Mechelen". The acquisition of the inn constituted a considerable financial burden. When Vermeer's father died in OctoberVermeer took over the operation of the family's art business. The blessing took place in the quiet nearby village of Schipluiden. Vermeer's new mother-in-law Maria Thins was significantly wealthier than he, and it was probably she who insisted that Vermeer convert to Catholicism before the marriage on 5 April. According to art historian Walter Johannes Vermeer, Vermeer's conversion seems to have been made with conviction. Walter Liedtke in Dutch Paintings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art suggests that it was made for a learned and devout Catholic patron, perhaps for his schuilkerk, or "hidden church". At some point, the couple moved in with Catharina's mother, who lived in a rather spacious house at Oude Langendijk, almost next to a Johannes Vermeer Jesuit church. Here Vermeer lived for the rest of his life, producing paintings in the front room on the second Johannes Vermeer. His wife gave birth to 15 children, four of whom were buried before being baptized, but were registered as "child of Johan Vermeer". Several of these names carry a religious connotation, and the youngest Ignatius was likely named after the founder of the Jesuit order. Article Johannes Vermeer article References Wikipedia article.

In Girl with a Pearl Earringone of Vermeer's most engaging images, a young girl dressed in an exotic turban turns and gazes at the viewer. Her liquid eyes and half-opened mouth impart the immediacy of her presence, yet her purity and her evocative costume give her a lasting quality, unconstrained by time or place. The relatively large scale of this figure reveals how Johannes Vermeer enhanced the sense of realism through his expressive paint techniques. For example, he Johannes Vermeer the young girl's half smile with two small white dots on either side of her mouth, echoing the highlights in her eyes. He also ingeniously used his paints to capture the effect of light falling across her features, turban, and ocher-colored jacket. He evoked the delicacy of her skin with a soft contour for her check, which he created Johannes Vermeer extending a thin glaze slightly over the edge of the thick impasto defining the flesh color. He indicated reflected light from the Johannes Vermeer color in the pearl earring, but also, Johannes Vermeer more subtly, in the shadows on her left Johannes Vermeer. Finally, he painted the shaded portion of the blue turban by covering a Johannes Vermeer under-pamt with freely applied glazes of natural ultramarine. The background of the Girl with a Pearl Earring does not appear as it does when it came off the Vermeer's easel Johannes Vermeer years ago. Recent analysis demonstrates that the artist had painted a transparent Johannes Vermeer of green paint over the dark underpainting. Originally, the background must have appeared as a smooth, glossy, hard and deep translucent green. This tone set against the warm flesh tone probably produced a more vibrant optical effect than the one which can be observed today. Dark backgrounds were Johannes Vermeer used in portraiture to enhance the three-dimensional effect of the figure. In fragment of his Treatise on PaintingJohannes Vermeer da Vinci had noted that a dark background makes an object appear lighter and vice versa. The girl's enigmatic expression coupled with the mystery of her identity has led some to compare her to the equivocal subject in Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. Unlike the Mona Lisa, however, Girl with a Johannes Vermeer Earring is not a portrait but a , a Dutch term for a character or type of person. Despite the feeling of immediacy Vermeer thus creates, the young girl's idealized image conveys a sense of timeless beauty. Vermeer worked as a classicist, purifying his images to express lasting rather Johannes Vermeer transient qualities of life. Inthe British graffiti Johannes Vermeer Banksy put his own Johannes Vermeer on the painting. He reproduced the girl on the side of a building in Bristol with an alarm Johannes Vermeer on the wall in place of the pearl earring. The Dutch word "tronie," translates roughly as "face. typically feature an exaggerated facial expression or a subject in some sort of costume such as the girl's exotic turban. Some art critics call Vermeer's painting the "Mona Lisa of the North. Although the artist was often in dire financial straits and had a large family to support, the ultramarine-toned paint he used for the girl's bright blue turban was expensive. It Johannes Vermeer from a powder of crushed lapis lazuli, a rare semi-precious stone. Not only did the paint possess a unique luminescence, it also added to the Johannes Vermeer value of the artwork. While "Girl with a Pearl Earring" is a priceless masterpiece today, the only time Johannes Vermeer purchased it for money was inand the winning bid was just two guilders plus a nominal commission. Vermeer's painting Johannes Vermeer rich in craquelure. In other words, the paint has cracked into a network of fine lines over the centuries. Not only are these due to age, but also to impacts, such as taps during framing and pressure on the canvas. Researchers studying the painting in determined that some of the cracking, especially the darker Johannes Vermeer along the subject's face, are due to a restoration when technicians used a material containing tree resin to refresh the varnish. Inauthor Tracy Chevalier published an historical novel based on the painting. Hollywood made Johannes Vermeer novel into a film, "Girl with a Pearl Earring," in The artwork has had several titles over the centuries. Historians believe that it originally was listed in Vermeer's estate inventory as a tronie done in the Turkish fashion.

Vermeer's Studio. Although the artist's studio had been occasionally portrayed during the Renaissance—the place was not actually called a studio Johannes Vermeer the nineteenth century—it became a very popular motif in the seventeenth-century Netherlands. Particularly numerous were pictures of the workplaces of destitute artists. But not all studios were dilapidated: Vermeer's was certainly not. While we do have one painting of an artist in Johannes Vermeer studio by Vermeer, it represents an ideal of the artist's studio rather than the real conditions in which the artist went about the day-to-day chore of creating his masterpieces. This study provides abundant information on what we know of seventeenth-century studio and how Vermeer's studio differed from Johannes Vermeer of his colleagues. Every aspect of Vermeer's studio, which include the location, dimensions, layout, windows, flooring, studio clothing and environmental conditions, is examined in detail and corroborated by a wealth of diagrams and high-resolution images.
