Reviews
Vermeer's work is prized for its luminosity, some which is brought into his bio by author Irene Netta. In this lushly illustrated but relatively slim volume, Netta interprets Vermeer's body of paintings against the details of his myth, his hometown, his intentions, his sources of inspiration, and the bare bones of his life, about which information has heretofore been sketchy. Vermeer's World is a valuable resource for those wishing to become more familiar with this supremely gifted maestro.
