Vermeer. The Complete Works (Hardcover)

His works have prompted a New York Times bestseller; a film
starring Scarlett Johansson and Colin Firth; record visitor numbers
at art institutions from Amsterdam to Washington, DC; and special
crowd-control measures at the Mauritshuis, The Hague, where
thousands flock to catch a glimpse of the enigmatic and enchanting
Girl with a Pearl Earring, also known as the "Dutch Mona Lisa". In
his lifetime, however, the fame of Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675)
barely extended beyond his native Delft and a small circle of
patrons. After his death, his name was largely forgotten, except by
a few Dutch art collectors and dealers. Outside of Holland, his
works were even misattributed to other artists. It was not until
the mid-19th century that Vermeer came to the attention of the
international art world, which suddenly looked upon his narrative
minutiae, meticulous textural details, and majestic planes of
light, spotted a genius, and never looked back. This edition
features the complete catalog of Vermeer's work, presenting the
calm yet compelling scenes so treasured in galleries across Europe
and the United States in one monograph of utmost reproduction
quality. Crisp details and essays tracing Vermeer's career
illuminate his remarkable ability not only to bear witness to the
trends and trimmings of the Dutch Golden Age but also to
encapsulate an entire story in just one transient gesture,
expression, or look.
