ing at it believes Vermeer painted most if not all of his pictures in his studio where he arranged, and rearranged the varied furnishings to, suit his pre-determined purposes.
One aspect of his work that I especially liked was the life painted into the expanses of “white” walls of his rooms. The walls glow with muted colors so that one feels the light they reflect. This is something reproductions cannot well convey.
The wonderful catalog that was prepared for this exhibition under the direction of Arthur K. Wheelock, who is ^essentially responsible for the event, is a large scholarly volume. To be representative, it needs to be large because the complexity of Vermeer’s work, if well explored, could fill volumes.
In addition to this catalog I have left Johannes Vermeer by Celeste Brusati, which contains paintings not included in the exhibition, and Dutch Painting by Peter Mitchell at the Rappahannock County Library as well as a longer version of this review for the many people who were not able to get into Washington, D.C. to see die exhibit.
