| As a result, a number of works previously thought to be by Vermeer were deattributed, including Young Woman Seated at the Virginals. |
| And yet Vermeer seems willing to set down the areas of light and shade just as they occur. |
| No doubt Vermeer owed a particular debt to Delft, but it is the great dichotomies of Dutch art generally that nourished his genius. |
| Despite the efforts of some art historians to suggest that Vermeer literally transcribed what he saw with optical aids, such was not the case. |
| My explanation for this very curious result is that Vermeer had a camera obscura with a lens at the painting's viewpoint. |
| The Golden Age produced the works of Rembrandt, Vermeer and other Dutch masters. |
