Join artist and lecturer, Jim Caldwell, for an art talk on Jan Vermeer.

Jan Vermeer lived in the Golden Age of the Dutch 17th Century. In the 20 years of his painting career, he produced only about 40 paintings, but at least 8 of them are now considered to be Masterworks of universal importance, and the Girl with the Pearl Earring is called the Dutch Mona Lisa.

Vermeer worked with a limited range of subjects to create simple, powerful, peaceful compositions filled with brilliant light, and beautiful vibrant colors in stunning detail.
Jim Caldwell will talk about 21 of Vermeer’s best paintings, with 64 stunningly beautiful images.
