Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum holds 1 work by Johannes Vermeer (1632–1675) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Vermeer painted fewer than forty works in his lifetime, making seeing even one in person a significant occasion. His paintings of domestic interiors have a quality of suspended time and cool northern light that photography consistently fails to capture.
