UR - https://www.unicat.be/uniCat?func=search&query=sysid:1759302 AB - "Since his rediscovery in the later half of the nineteenth century, Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) has been one of the most admired and influential European painters. His extremely private life, his supposed use of a camera obscura, and the fact that his teacher remains unidentified have, until recently, encouraged a view of the 'Sphinx of Delft' as an isolated genius shrouded in an air of mystery. Walter Liedtke's new monograph reveals Vermeer's life to be well documented and places his work in the context of the Delft School and of Delft society as a whole. Vermeer's many admirers will relish Liedtke's exploration of subtleties of meaning and refinements of technique and style. Alongside the most historical approach to Vermeer to date, the annotated colour catalogue of Vermeer's complete paintings reveals a master whose rare sensibility may be described but not explained."--Jacket.
