Paper Summary:
This paper briefly presents biographical information about Dutch artist Jan Vermeer and then goes on to discuss many of his most famous works. The paper explains that Vermeer was the foremost colorist of his time and discusses his elegant use of light, composition, tonal values and perspective.From the Paper:
"His paintings are exquisitely depicted with luminous blues and yellows, pearly highlights, which allow him to achieve subtle graduations of reflected light. He was a master of composition, particularly with regard to the representation of space. The paintings feature the arrangement of tonal values and perspective from the foreground, into the middle ground, sometimes continuing farther into the distance in such works as Girl Asleep at a Table. In The View of Delft and other works, he demonstrated mastery of the effects of light with a subtlety, delicacy, and purity of color, that have never been surpassed since."More papers on Jan Vermeer:
