Frequently Asked Questions
Who was Johannes Vermeer?
A Dutch painter (1632–1675) of the Golden Age. He is known for his way of painting light falling through a window, and for works such as The Girl with the Pearl Earring and The Milkmaid.
Why are his works so sought after?
There are very few surviving paintings, about 35 attributed to him, and each image is carefully composed. This means that the ones that do exist are very famous.
Does Vermeer fit in a modern home?
Yes. Dark, rich colors against a light wall create contrast, and classic art becomes interesting next to modern furniture.
Which frame is suitable?
Oak or black frames give a museum impression. Avoid very shiny frames, as they take attention away from the light of the painting.
Which size is best?
Vermeer's works are small in nature: 30x40 or 40x50 cm gives an intimate feel that suits the original, while 50x70 cm works if you want an eye-catcher.
