Inhaltsangabe

PUBLISHED TO ACCOMPANY THE ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME EXHIBITION AT THE RIJKSMUSEUM, AMSTERDAM, THIS IS THE FIRST MAJOR STUDY ON VERMEER'S LIFE AND WORK FOR MANY YEARS.

----------

'Proust was once so excited to see a Vermeer show that he collapsed ¿ I got chest pains merely leafing through the catalogue' Jonathan Jones, Guardian

'Invest in the fat catalogue, stuffed with scholarly discoveries and photographic closeups, and you will learn about everything from Vermeer¿s optical mastery to his moral symbolism' Rachel Campbell-Johnston, The Times

'Excellent' Artists & Illustrators

'Getting a ticket for the once-in-a-lifetime Vermeer exhibition, above, at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam this year might frankly be a bit of a challenge, but you can at least console yourself with the exhibition catalogue, published by Thames & Hudson, which is a gorgeous thing. Nothing matches seeing a painting in the flesh, but this comes mightily close.' The Herald

----------

Vermeer's intensely quiet and enigmatic paintings invite the viewer into a private world, often prompting more questions than answers. Who is being portrayed? Are his subjects real or imagined? And how did he create such an unrivalled sense of intimacy?

Bringing together diverse strands of the Dutch master's professional and private worlds, this is the first major authoritative study of Vermeer's life and work for many years, throwing light on all thirty-seven of his paintings.

The book was designed by Irma Boom, the `Queen of Books¿, and printed on an uncoated `Munken Print White¿ paper, specially commissioned to ensure the veracity of colours. Irma Boom says: `the matte paper brings you closer to Vermeer; there is no gloss or glare in between, just like with the real works.¿ With a wide selection of contextual illustrations, commentaries and up-to-date research by distinguished international Vermeer scholars, this is the definitive volume on the most admired of all seventeenth-century Dutch masters.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Published to accompany the once-in-a-lifetime exhibition at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, this is the first major study on Vermeer's life and work for many years.

Vermeer's intensely quiet and enigmatic paintings invite the viewer into a private world, often prompting more questions than answers. Who is being portrayed - are his subjects real or imagined? What details do we know of Vermeer's personal life? How did it affect his painting style, and how did he create such an unrivalled sense of intimacy?

For the first time in its history, the Rijksmuseum is staging a dedicated exhibition of this beloved Dutch master, featuring nearly all of Vermeer's masterpieces in the context of a new investigation into his life and art.

Including three extensive scholarly essays, and a series of thirteen thematic sections which bring together diverse strands of the artist's professional and private life through his paintings, this publication - designed by Irma Boom, the 'Queen of Books' - will be required reading for all art-lovers as well as devotees of this most admired of painters.
