Reviews
It is hard not to like a Vermeer painting. They are simple yet elegant. They have light streaming into everyday interiors in a way that can not be matched.Unfortunately art historians have only identified 34 or 35 Vermeer paintings. To look at the painting "The Astronomer", one is not surprised that Hitler looted it for his own personal collection. We are thankful that the Monuments Men recovered it and that is now in The Louvre. This book has large sized color reproductions of all of Vermeers work and is a joy to look through.
