Johannes Vermeer

Among all the Dutch masters of the Golden Age Johannes (Jan) Vermeer van Delft is maybe the most popular today (beside the immortal Rembrandt of course). Though the life of Vermeer was a short one and he did not leave us more than 37 paintings people keep being fascinated by the legacy of this exceptional artist.
