Lawrence Gowing's classic study has long been treasured for the painterly sensibilities he brought to this greatly loved body of work. Finally the text is available again, with a new foreword and fresh reproductions of Vermeer's paintings.

Bought this after reading "Girl With a Pearl Earring". A well written biography interspersed with Vermeer's wonderful paintings. Highly recommended.
