Johannes Vermeer

Johannes Vermeer was a Dutch painter during the Golden Age, celebrated for his profound mastery in capturing light and mood. Working relatively in obscurity during his lifetime, Vermeer produced a limited number of works, many of which depicted domestic scenes with a focus on women's daily life. His impeccable technique and attention to detail, seen in masterpieces like "Girl with a Pearl Earring" and "The Milkmaid," showcase his unique ability to elevate ordinary moments into timeless art. Today, Vermeer is regarded as one of the greatest painters in art history.
