TIC: Johannes Vermeer: His Life and His Art

Description: During his life, Vermeer was overshadowed by fellow Dutch masters Rembrandt and Hals, and it wasn’t until years after his death that his brilliant use of color, light, and mood were recognized. We will examine the 35 known paintings by Vermeer plus study actual copies of Vermeer’s “The Art of Painting” and “Girl with a Pitcher,” demonstrating the step-by-step oil painting process
he may have possibly used.

Designed for: Members interested
in learning more about painting and the life and professional works created by Johannes Vermeer.
