The Greatest Work by Johannes Vermeer I Behind the Masterpiece

An art history deep dive on Johannes Vermeer's “Milkmaid” currently at the Rijksmuseum, in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Vermeer was a painter for the common man. He ranks among the most admired of all Dutch artists and has given us 36 paintings, depicting the domestic lives of those around him. He was a meticulous and introspective artist, and he has given us masterpieces such as “Girl with a Pearl Earring” and “Milkmaid.”
