Andrew Graham-Dixon’s book places Vermeer’s work in the context of its time and paints a dramatically new picture of the artist, revealing many of the painter’s hitherto unknown friendships as well as his previously undetected allegiance to a radical movement driven underground by persecution. In the past Vermeer has been imagined as a remote and enigmatic figure but in this account he emerges as a man deeply engaged with his own society, well read and well travelled and greatly affected by the struggles that shook his world. Graham-Dixon reassesses both the paintings and their meanings.
An illustrated talk.
