A4: "Johannes Vermeer: His History and Art"

February 19, 2018  |  9:30-11:30 am

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 became 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 possible step by step oil painting process he may have used.
Designed for: Anyone interested in learning more about painting and the life and professional works of Johannes Vermeer
Facilitator: Dean Oestreich
