Synopsis
Published to accompany the once-in-a-lifetime exhibition at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, this is the first major study of Vermeer’s life and work in many years.
A New York Times Best Art Book of 2023
Johannes Vermeer's intensely quiet and enigmatic paintings invite the viewer into a private world, often prompting more questions than answers. Who is being portrayed? Are his subjects real or imagined? And how did he create such an unrivaled sense of intimacy?
Bringing together diverse strands of the Dutch master's professional and private worlds, this is the first major authoritative study of Vermeer's life and work for many years shedding light on all thirty-seven of his paintings.
Vermeer was designed by Irma Boom, the "Queen of Books," and printed on an uncoated "Munken Print White" paper, specially commissioned to ensure the veracity of colors. Irma Boom says: "the matte paper brings you closer to Vermeer; there is no gloss or glare in between, just like with the real works." With a wide selection of contextual illustrations, commentaries, and up-to-date research by distinguished international Vermeer scholars, this is the definitive volume on the most admired of all seventeenth-century Dutch masters.

Gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Vermeers äußerst ruhige und geheimnisvolle Gemälde entführen den Betrachter in eine private Welt und werfen oft mehr Fragen auf, als sie Antworten geben. Wer wird hier dargestellt Sind seine Motive real oder imaginär Und wie gelang es ihm, eine so unvergleichliche Intimität zu schaffen Dieses Werk vereint verschiedene Aspekte des beruflichen und privaten Lebens des niederländischen Meisters und ist die erste umfassende und maßgebliche Studie über Vermeers Leben und Werk seit vielen Jahren, die alle 37 seiner Gemälde beleuchtet. Das Buch wurde von Irma Boom, der »Königin der Bücher«, gestaltet und auf ungestrichenem »Munken Print White-Papier« gedruckt, das speziell angefertigt wurde, um die Farbtreue zu gewährleisten. Irma Boom sagt: »Das matte Papier bringt Sie Vermeer näher; es gibt keinen Glanz und keine Blendung dazwischen, genau wie bei den echten Werken. Mit einer großen Auswahl an kontextbezogenen Illustrationen, Kommentaren und aktuellen Forschungsergebnissen renommierter internationaler Vermeer-Wissenschaftler ist dies das Standardwerk über den am meisten bewunderten aller niederländischen Meister des 17. Jahrhunderts, einen der größten Künstler der Welt. (Text engl.) 320 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # 1666169
