{"title":"Johannes Vermeer","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohannes Vermeer was a Dutch painter who specialized in domestic interior scenes of middle-class life.

During his lifetime, he was a moderately successful provincial genre painter, recognized in Delft and The Hague. He produced relatively few paintings, primarily earning his living as an art dealer. He was not wealthy; at his death, his wife was left in debt. Vermeer worked slowly and with great care, and frequently used very expensive pigments. He is particularly renowned for making masterful use of light in his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Almost all his paintings\", Hans Koningsberger wrote, \"are apparently set in two smallish rooms in his house in Delft; they show the same furniture and decorations in various arrangements and they often portray the same people, mostly women.\" The modest celebrity he enjoyed during his life gave way to obscurity after his death. He was barely mentioned in Arnold Houbraken's major source book on 17th-century Dutch painting (Grand Theatre of Dutch Painters and Women Artists, published 1718) and, as a result, was omitted from subsequent surveys of Dutch art for nearly two centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe drew inspiration from Dirck van Baburen, Gabriel Metsu, and Carel Fabritius. Among his most cited paintings: \u003cem\u003eThe Astronomer\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eView of Delft\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eChrist in the House of Martha and Mary\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eA Girl Asleep\u003c\/em\u003e. His principal genres were cityscape, genre painting, and portrait. His practice is associated with Dutch Golden Age painting and Baroque painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHis oeuvre falls under \u003ca class=\"artist-bio-link\" href=\"\/collections\/baroque\"\u003eBaroque\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Johannes Vermeer\",\"birthDate\":\"1632-10-01T00:00:00Z\",\"deathDate\":\"1675-01-01T00:00:00Z\",\"nationality\":\"Dutch Republic\",\"jobTitle\":\"painter\",\"description\":\"Johannes Vermeer was a Dutch painter who specialized in domestic interior scenes of middle-class life.
