Items related to Vermeer: The Complete Works
Synopsis
His works have prompted a New York Times bestseller; a film starring Scarlett Johansson and Colin Firth; record visitor numbers at art institutions from Amsterdam to Washington, DC; and special crowd-control measures at the Mauritshuis, The Hague, where thousands flock to catch a glimpse of the enigmatic and enchanting Girl with a Pearl Earring, also known as the “Dutch Mona Lisa”.
In his lifetime, however, the fame of Johannes Vermeer (1632–1675) barely extended beyond his native Delft and a small circle of patrons. After his death, his name was largely forgotten, except by a few Dutch art collectors and dealers. Outside of Holland, his works were even misattributed to other artists. It was not until the mid-19th century that Vermeer came to the attention of the international art world, which suddenly looked upon his narrative minutiae, meticulous textural detail, and majestic planes of light, spotted a genius, and never looked back.
This XXL edition brings together the complete catalog of Vermeer’s work, presenting the calm yet compelling scenes so treasured in galleries across Europe and the United States into one monograph of utmost reproduction quality. With brand new photography of many works, Vermeer’s restrained but richly evocative repertoire of domestic actions – ranging from letter writing to music making to preparations in the kitchen – unfolds in a generous format, including three fold-out spreads. Numerous details emphasize the artist’s remarkable ability not only to bear witness to the trends and trimmings of the Dutch Golden Age but also to encapsulate an entire story in just one transient gesture, expression, or look.

Hardcover. Condition: Gut. Dust Jacket Condition: Gut. 1. Auflage. 258 Seiten/pages (40,5 x 29,5 cm) -> Seine Werke waren Inspiration für einen Bestseller der New York Times, dessen Verfilmung mit Scarlett Johansson und Colin Firth zum Kinohit wurde. Ausstellungen seiner Gemälde erzielten von Amsterdam bis Washington Besucherrekorde. Im Mauritshuis in Den Haag mussten sogar spezielle Maßnahmen ergriffen werden, um den täglichen Ansturm der unzähligen Kunstbegeisterten zu bändigen, die die niederländische Mona Lisa sehen wollten das ebenso hinreißende wie rätselhafte Mädchen mit dem Perlenohrring und den großen Augen. Zu Lebzeiten jedoch reichte der Ruhm des Johannes Vermeer kaum über seine Geburtsstadt Delft und einen kleinen Kreis von Mäzenen hinaus. Nach seinem Tod geriet sein Name weitgehend in Vergessenheit; nur wenige niederländische Kunstsammler und -händler erinnerten sich an ihn. Erst Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts rückte Vermeer in den Fokus der internationalen Kunstwelt, die plötzlich die erzählerischen Details, sorgfältig ausgearbeiteten Texturen und majestätischen Lichtebenen seiner Werke wahrnahm und ein Genie entdeckte. Dieser Gesamtkatalog der Werke Vermeers zeigt seine ruhigen, aber spannungsreichen Gemälde im großzügigen XXL-Format. Ein Großteil seiner Bilder wurde für diesen Band aufwendig neu fotografiert. Zahlreiche Detailvergrößerungen und drei Ausklappseiten ermöglichen es, Vermeers Talent für lebendig wirkende Genreszenen en détail zu studieren, seine subtile Lichtregie und seine Gabe, mit nur einem flüchtigen Blick eine ganze Geschichte zu erzählen. -> His works inspired a New York Times bestseller, the film adaptation of which starred Scarlett Johansson and Colin Firth and became a box office hit. Exhibitions of his paintings have attracted record numbers of visitors from Amsterdam to Washington. At the Mauritshuis in The Hague, special measures even had to be taken to contain the daily influx of countless art enthusiasts who wanted to see the "Dutch Mona Lisa" the ravishing and enigmatic Girl with a Pearl Earring and the large eyes. During his lifetime, however, Johannes Vermeer's fame barely extended beyond his native Delft and a small circle of patrons. After his death, his name was largely forgotten; only a few Dutch art collectors and dealers remembered him. It wasn't until the mid-19th century that Vermeer came to the attention of the international art world, which suddenly noticed the narrative details, carefully crafted textures, and majestic layers of light in his works and discovered a genius. This complete catalogue of Vermeer's works presents his serene yet exciting paintings in a generous XXL format. Many of his pictures were painstakingly rephotographed for this volume. Numerous detailed enlargements and three fold-out pages allow for a detailed study of Vermeer's talent for vivid genre scenes, his subtle use of light, and his gift for telling an entire story with just a fleeting glance. -> Zustand: Seitenränder sehr leicht gedunkelt - nur auf weiß sichtbar - farbige Abbildungen davon unbetroffen. -> Condition: Page edges slightly darkened - only visible on white - color images unaffected.
