Johannes Vermeer — Girl with a Pearl Earring | Fine Art PrintJohannes Vermeer (16321675) produced only 34 to 36 known paintings, yet his mastery of interior light and psychological stillness earned him a permanent place among the greatest painters of all time.

he combined the formal rigour of classical calligraphy with an expressive freedom that made him one of the most admired calligrapher-painters of his generation
