Vermeer
Vermeer left behind only 36 known paintings — a small enough body of work that this volume reproduces every one, full color and large-format, close enough to see the single highlight on a pearl earring or the exact fall of light across a map on a wall.
Originally published in 1958 with an essay by Ludwig Goldscheider, co-founder of Phaidon Press, updated here with a new preface from Dutch painting specialist Wayne Franits. Fine papers, tipped-on plates, the kind of production that treats the book itself with the same patience Vermeer put into the paintings.
Dimensions: 354mm x 260mm; 180 pages
Material: Hardcover
About the Brand
Phaidon has spent over a hundred years making the kind of books people actually keep on the coffee table instead of the shelf — the ones you flip through with a drink in hand and end up reading cover to cover anyway. They work directly with the chefs, architects, and artists making the thing, not just people writing about it from the sidelines, which is probably why their cookbooks make you hungry and their design books make you want to redo your whole house.
