Using a historical analysis of Vermeer's method of production and a close reading of his art, this book explores the originality of Vermeer in the context of 17th-century Dutch painting. It suggests that his confrontation with painting represented a very personal effort to define a new pictorial practice within the classical tradition of his art.
