Now acknowledged as one of the greatest painters of the Dutch Golden Age, Johannes Vermeer specialised in domestic interior scenes of middle-class life in his home city of Delft. The artist's reputation fell into obscurity after his death and it was not until the 19th century that his work was rediscovered by Gustav Friedrich Waagen and Theophile Thore-Burger, who published an essay attributing 66 pictures to him. Since that time, Vermeer's reputation has continued to grow, recognising his sublime genius in Baroque painting.
