  1. 1. Vermeer by Andrew Graham Dixon

    A concise art-historical study of the Dutch painter that traces his life, the little we know of his biography, and the distinctive qualities of his work—meticulous composition, delicate handling of light and colour, and intimate domestic subjects—while examining techniques, contemporary context and the mysteries surrounding his small oeuvre and enduring influence on later perceptions of seventeenth-century Dutch painting.
