Johannes Vermeer

Dutch, 1632–1675

Johannes Vermeer (1632–1675), également connu sous le nom de Jan Vermeer, était un peintre néerlandais qui se concentrait sur des scènes d'intérieurs domestiques représentant la vie de la classe moyenne. Il a vécu à Delft, a travaillé lentement avec des pigments coûteux et a produit relativement peu de peintures, se soutenant principalement en tant que marchand d'art. De son vivant, il a connu un succès modéré localement mais n'était pas riche, et sa femme a été laissée endettée après sa mort. L'œuvre de Vermeer est tombée dans l'obscurité pendant près de deux siècles avant d'être redécouverte au XIXe siècle, et aujourd'hui 34 peintures lui sont universellement attribuées.
