Johannes Vermeer was born on October

Write your report on Johannes Vermeer city. He was one of the best known
artists from the Dutch Golden Age. Seven of his
works are still in Dutch museums. His works
are eulogized for their brilliant use of light,
careful composition, and transparent colors.
He used a technique called pointill to create
those transparent colors. The article says, “His
paintings cover all layers of society, at one
time portraying a simple milkmaid at work, at
other times works show the luxury and
splendor of rich notables and merchantmen in
their roomy houses.” Most of his paintings take
place inside of a house such as A Lady Writing
and The Geographer. A few hundred years after
his death, a person named Han van Meegeren
was a painter who painted in classic style. To
prove others he was stupendous, he started off
by forging a Vermeer. Then, he iterated the
process, and started producing more and more
just for the money he would get. This entirely
messed up the history of Vermeer paintings.
This baffled the art world when they found
out. Because of Meegren’s bad choices, it has
made it arduous to deduce the diversity
between a “true” Vermeer painting and a fake
works of art contributed to him.
