Vermeer Part 2
The Arts | Registration opens 1/5/2026 12:00 AM MST (Arizona)
Today Jan Vermeer’s paintings are among the most loved and he is one of the most well- known Dutch painters. During his life he was not that well known due to the small number paintings he produced and the small number of collectors. We will cover the society he lived in, his life and, as much as time allows, analyze each of his paintings in
detail. This will include the ‘Girl with the Pearl Earring’. Who was she? How did he paint the earring? We will also discuss Dutch perspective and Italian Renaissance perspective.
