Adventures in Art series.
Nearly two dozen Vermeer paintings are reproduced and discussed here, with an emphasis on style, technique, and the artist's tendency to depict seemingly ordinary moments suspended in time. The darker themes underlying Vermeer's light-infused paintings are also touched on. A brief biographical sketch closes the volume, but it includes little information or historical context for the artist's life and work.
