Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675)
Born in Delft, Netherlands in 1632. He began his career as a painter at the age of 21, and served as a director of the Delft Painters' Guild. He painted interior scenes of everyday life, including letters, music, and love, and left behind beautiful, delicate works that captivate viewers with their precise brushwork, calculated expression of light, and paintings within paintings that can be interpreted in multiple ways. After his death in 1675 at the age of 43, his work was gradually forgotten, but began to be appreciated again in the 19th century.
