{"product_id":"vermeer-basic-art","title":"Vermeer - Basic Art","description":"Even though only 35 of his works are known to exist, the body of work by Johannes Vermeer (1632–1675) is regarded as one of art history's most vital and inspiring collections. His paintings have served as the inspiration for a New York Times bestseller, a feature film starring Scarlett Johansson, and record-setting attendance figures across art institutions ranging from Amsterdam to Washington. Vermeer’s subject matter centers on everyday domestic tasks, from composing letters and playing music to meal preparations in the kitchen. These scenes earn admiration through their painstaking details, magnificent tiers of illumination, and Vermeer's exceptional talent for uncovering elements of narrative curiosity.\n\nIn celebrated paintings like Lady Standing at a Virginal, A Lady Writing a Letter with Her Maid, and his most famous creation—the enigmatic, wide-eyed, and captivating Girl with a Pearl Earring (İnci Küpeli Kız)—Vermeer brings to life not only the tactile qualities of substance and texture, but also the myriad mysteries and underlying narratives beneath the surface. Presenting all of Vermeer's known creations alongside brief, clear texts, this essential introductory volume explores the painter's pioneering position within art history and his singular capacity to transform oil paint into a vibrant, living scene of human life.\n\nAbout the Series:\nEstablished in 1985, the Basic Art series has grown into the best-selling art book collection ever published. Every volume in the TASCHEN Basic Art series features:\nA thorough chronological summary of the artist's life and artistic output, addressing their cultural and historical significance;\nA concise biography;\nAround 100 illustrations accompanied by explanatory captions.","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55984680632642,"sku":"3380","price":1230.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/5734\/8930\/files\/vermeer-basic-art-sanat-taschen-norbert-schneider-14070-33-O.jpg?v=1787595542","url":"https:\/\/lumiefilm.com\/products\/vermeer-basic-art","provider":"LUMIE FILM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
