Synopsis

"Vermeer" is considered by some to be one of the most profound books ever written on the artist. The text has been updated for this third edition to appear in paperback. The volume also includes an essay on Vermeer, "Counterfeiter of Grace", written by the author shortly before his death in which he sums up current Vermeer research. All the illustrations used have been newly reproduced for the reissue of this classic work in the field of art history.

From the Back Cover

Lawrence Gowing's classic study has long been treasured for the painterly sensibilities he brought to Vermeer's greatly loved body of work. Now the text is available again, with a new foreword by Sir Ernst Gombrich, a new essay on Vermeer written by Lawrence Gowing in 1991, a new select bibliography and fresh reproductions of Vermeer's paintings.

From the Inside Flap

"Gowing's text remains the single best sustained piece of critical writing that exists on Vermeer."—Svetlana Alpers
