Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675), one of the most gifted painters of the Dutch Golden Age created lifelike portrayal of men and women in seventeenth century rooms, outdoor scenes and religious themes using symbols and allegories to give special meanings to his creations. He achieved the veracity and the feel of the subjects with complex blend of light, color, proportion and scale.
