Johannes Vermeer: Brush Touches
Johannes Vermeer did not produce much work. Most of his works are interior variations. The fine details in these works dazzle. The textures, colors, and shapes are meticulous and absolutely described. The mastery of the use of light is clearly noticeable in the reflection on the objects in the space.
