★本書配合阿姆斯特丹國家博物館的維梅爾特展而出版，這是多年來對維梅爾生平和作品的首次重要研究。
維梅爾那強烈而神秘的畫作邀請觀者進入一個私密的世界，往往引發更多問題而非答案。畫中的人物是誰？他的主題是真實的還是想像的？他是如何創造出如此無與倫比的親密感的？
這本書匯集了這位荷蘭大師藝術生涯和私人生活的各個方面，是多年來第一部權威研究維梅爾生平和作品的重要著作，為他的所有37幅畫作投下了光芒。
本書由「圖書女王」Irma Boom設計，採用了特別委託製作的「Munken Print White」無光澤紙張印刷而成，以確保顏色的真實性。Irma Boom表示：「啞光紙(霧面紙)讓你更靠近維梅爾，其表面沒有光澤或閃耀，就像真實的作品一樣。」書中附有大量的背景插圖、評論以及由國際著名維梅爾學者提供的最新研究，這是關於17世紀荷蘭最受推崇的大師之一、世界上最偉大的藝術家之一的權威之作。
Published to accompany the once-in-a-lifetime exhibition at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, this is the first major study on Vermeer's life and work for many years
Vermeer's intensely quiet and enigmatic paintings invite the viewer into a private world, often prompting more questions than answers. Who is being portrayed? Are his subjects real or imagined? And how did he create such an unrivalled sense of intimacy?
Bringing together diverse strands of the Dutch master's professional and private worlds, this is the first major authoritative study of Vermeer's life and work for many years, throwing light on all thirty-seven of his paintings.
The book was designed by Irma Boom, the ‘Queen of Books’, and printed on an uncoated, ‘Munken Print White’ paper, specially commissioned to ensure the veracity of colours. Irma Boom says: ‘the matte paper brings you closer to Vermeer; there is no gloss or glare in between, just like with the real works.’With a wide selection of contextual illustrations, commentaries and up-to-date research by distinguished international Vermeer scholars, here is the definitive volume on the most admired of all seventeenth-century Dutch masters, one of the world's greatest artists.
【Contents List】
Foreword by Taco Dibbits, general director, Rijksmuseum
Section I: Essays
1. Vermeer - Biography
An introduction to Vermeer's life and work
2. Vermeer - His House
Although little is known about Vermeer as a personality, an investigation into his direct environment reveals much more. Paying a visit to Oude Langendijk in Delft, this essay examines Vermeer's family members, household life and personal possessions.
3. Vermeer's Invented World
Vermeer's paintings are almost exclusively interiors, imbued with a momentary stillness in time which nevertheless has been carefully constructed and orchestrated to direct the observer's gaze. This creation of intimacy is the key theme of the exhibition.
