Great Artists - Johannes Vermeer

Dutch genre painter who lived and worked in Delft, created some of the most exquisite paintings in Western art.
His works are rare. Of the 35 or 36 paintings generally attributed to him, most portray figures in interiors. All his works are admired for the sensitivity with which he rendered effects of light and color and for the poetic quality of his images.

Another great Sift, Mauz. I feel that I need to disagree about the use of a camera obscura contributing to Vermeer's ability to capture the behaviour of light. Certainly it may have contributed to the rigor of his perpective structure, but you can't paint in a camera obscura, it's too dim.
