Klappentext
One spring day in 1683, a notary's clerk in Delft entered the home of the late Magdalena Pieters van Ruijven and stumbled on one of the wonders of the seventeenth-century world: twenty paintings by Johannes Vermeer. How had this one Dutchwoman come to possess the majority of the master's work? And why have these images-among the most beautiful, even sublime, in the history of art-defied explanation for so long? Following new leads and drawing on freshly uncovered evidence from Dutch archives, acclaimed art historian Andrew Graham-Dixon presents a dramatic and transformative new interpretation of the artist's life and work. Rich with piercingly direct descriptions of Vermeer's paintings, Graham-Dixon's biography is full of revelations. It upends the master's enigmatic reputation and depicts him instead as a pioneer of the early Enlightenment, a pacifist who was deeply affected by the wars and religious conflicts of the Dutch Republic and allied to a radical movement driven underground by persecution.
