Vermeer Centre Delft

Johannes Vermeer is one of Holland’s best-known artists. The painter lived between 1632 and 1675 and spent his entire life in Delft. Vermeer only made 37 paintings, in which he created his own world. All of them are of an exceptionally high quality. The Vermeer Centre in Delft brings this old master back to life.
