Jan Vermeer Van Delft

Dutch • Baroque • 1632 − 1675

Johannes Vermeer Van Delft, known all over the world as Jan Vermeer, is a Dutch Baroque painter who had the typical life of an artist during his time – a humble existence void of luxuries, works that do not get enough credit and a misunderstood soul among the sea of strangers around him. read more

Even after his death, Vermeer’s name was constantly omitted from list after list of great Dutch artists. It was not until two centuries subsequent to his passing that Vermeer was recognized for his remarkable work as a painter. Though his works were few, the talent he possessed shone through the 35 paintings that were attributed to him. At present, he is world renowned as one of the most skillful artists during the Dutch Golden Era. Vermeer was born to a middle class family in the Netherlands. Nothing was written about a maternal figure in his life, with most records implying that he was raised solely by his father, Reijnier Janszoon. Reijnier started out as a silk dealer whose eye for design eventually allowed him to venture out into the buying and selling of art pieces. He proceeded to rent out an inn and showcase the artworks there. After some time, he was able to earn enough funds to buy his own inn. Upon his death, Vermeer took over the family business of buying and selling artworks as well as looking after his father’s inn. This was the young man’s initiation into the world of art. Vermeer’s paintings focused on scenes that happened during everyday life. His work was so vivid that one feels as though he can enter the painting, stepping into the scene with A Lady Drinking and a Gentleman, or taking the world-famous pearl earring from the girl he drew out. He was best known for his ability to create depth into his paintings. Each corner was meticulously detailed as if the viewer held a light over the painting and the work of art absorbed the light and reflected shadows within the canvas. Angles, planes, dimensions and layers were detailed so perfectly, making each work of art startlingly realistic. Little is known about the personal life of Jan Vermeer. He was recorded to have 14 children with his wife Catharina Bolenes, four of which died before reaching baptism. His ten children and his wife outlived him – tragically, his financial failures caused him to leave his family in heavy debt during the time of his death.
