Vermeer produced fewer than forty paintings in his lifetime, all of them intimate domestic interiors set in Delft, the Dutch city where he was born and died. His work was largely forgotten after his death and only rediscovered in the 19th century — today he is considered one of the supreme painters of the Dutch Golden Age.
