This edition compiles all of Vermeer's artwork into one book with the highest reproduction quality, showcasing the serene yet arresting vistas that are so prized in museums around Europe and the United States. Vermeer's restrained but profoundly evocative repertoire of household activities, including letter writing, music-making, and kitchen preparations, unfolds in a spacious format with three fold-out pages thanks to brand-new photography of many of his paintings. Numerous details highlight the artist's extraordinary capacity to capture a complete narrative in just one fleeting motion, attitude, or look in addition to being able to attest to the fashions and trimmings of the Dutch Golden Age.
