Вермеер Делъфтский - художник, который, как никто другой, умел передавать очарование подлинного дневного света и прозрачных серебристых теней. В его творчестве почти не звучит тема бренности бытия, которая была столь заметна в произведениях других голландских живописцев XVII века. Герои картин Вермеера - представители богатого купеческого общества, которые наслаждаются сладостью мирного безмятежного бытия. Их день проходит размеренно, без суеты и скандалов, для них как бы не существует времени, а мгновения превратились в вечность. Его живопись реализует тот идеал Искусства, которое отрешено от бурной и суетной жизни в созерцательной, почти сакральной тишине.
В полотнах Вермеера образы повседневности, не теряя своей жизненной убедительности, представляют вместе с тем картину прекрасного мира, исполненного особой гармонии и красоты. Его пейзаж «Вид Дельфта» - изумительное по силе чувства и красоте живописи изображение его родного города, освещенного лучами солнца, пробивающимися сквозь влажные облака. А в картине «У сводницы» необыкновенно выпукло представлена смелая и свободная по своей теме бытовая сцена, а характеры действующих лиц очерчены с необычной широтой и яркостью. В одном взгляде сводницы художник передал не только пронырливость и алчность, но и такую живую черту, как жадное любопытство. Вермер превратил здесь грубую бордельную сцену в романтическое таинство любви.

According to Tracy Chevalier’s book, the girl in one of the paintings is a servant in Vermeer’s house, who becomes a _________ of desire for a character who is also Vermeer’s ____________.
His existence in real life was unknown until recently, and his ____________ helps to explain one of the great mysteries about Vermeer: why he produced so few paintings. The detective in this case was a man who was ____________ combed the Delft __________ for over twenty years, a professor from Yale – John Michael Montias.
“I suddenly realized that various documents ____________ a man named Pieter Klass Van Ruijven actually had __________ a patron of Vermeer, which nobody had realized before. I sort of put _______________ together and it ______ me: this must have been Vermeer’s patron.”
“Well we think that he may have painted maybe forty-five to fifty-five pictures. And we think that he may have sold to his patron close to half of his___________.”
Knowing that Vermeer had a patron makes a lot of sense, and helps explain why he seems so modern to us. I think that having a patron who’d accept ___________ he painted gave Vermeer the freedom to be himself, to __________ his own vision, ___________ play to the market. In New York they have one of the earliest paintings for Van Ruijven, where we can see the ________________ of light and space __________ his own.
