1632-1675
A master of light and detail, Vermeer only produced 35 paintings in his short life. Yet, despite this relatively small output, the Dutch artist has become perhaps the most beloved painter of all time. The recent exhibit at Washington's National Gallery of Art gathered together 23 works, providing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enjoy the mesmerizing depth of Vermeer's simple scenes.
