Book Reviews of Johannes Vermeer
Book Review: Very Beautiful Book & definitely worth the Price.
Summary: 5 Stars
I never knew who Johannes Vermeer was until i saw Girl with a Pearl Earring the movie. I don't know a thing about art but this book has history on the artist, the art times in Delft Holland, and the paintings that Mr. Vermeer did when he lived. I think this book is very beautiful and if anyone wants to know something on the subject of art then i would tell you to actually get this. Use this book as your introduction into the art world/history; the subject. 40 dollars may seem like alot of money for anyone but this is worth the investment. Yes, the book contains many pictures-it too has the one titled, "Girl with a Pearl Earring." I try to use this book for inspiration; i recommend this 100% percent.Book Review: vermeer, a door to another world
Summary: 5 Stars
vermeer's paintings are a door to another world. you see just a small panel with some touches of brush. how familiar this world is, you see the same windows, maids, tables, wine glasses etc. as countless other painters have drawn. but how astonishing this world is, inside these small paintings a wholely new world is. this book will show you the whole world vermeer's paintings create inside small space of canvas, with kindly, easy explanations and full enough illustrations. you may find other catalogues of vermeer's paintings. but if you have this book, ohters are only burden on your bookshelves.
