Given the sparsity of works by Vermeer, a volume including all the known works, as well as some predecessors and successors, becomes possible, along with commentary, analysis, and detail renderings, a combination that becomes somewhat irresistible in a volume like this which works handsomely in Kindle tablet format.The only proviso, as usual, is the low resolution of the captures of the works. Although it is likely this is done to prevent pirating and misuse, the vague focus and quick pixelation when zooming are irritating and of course no substitute for the magic of seeing these works in museums, a process that is often a once in a lifetime experience, and therefore not suitable for extensive meditation on the artistry involved.
Recommended but could of course have been far more effective with high resolution renderings. And still no substitute for a well executed coffee table book.

Delphi Complete Works of Johannes Vermeer Illustrated Masters of Art Book 2 edition by JOHANNES VERMEER Arts Photography eBooks Reviews
This book gives the reader an insight into the life of Vermeer, how he struggled, learned and accomplished. It is also a lesson to be learned by aspiring artists, one that retells the frustration and lack of recognition that has beset creative people for centuries. It should also teach the reader that determination coupled with talent are the driving forces behind all who have the desire to create.
The Delphi Complete Works of Johannes Vermeer (Illustrated) (Masters of Art Book 2) features about 40 colored paintings with short informative texts (approximately 150- 350 words each). Dates of the paintings are not always apparent. There are details of the paintings in addition to the whole painting, which enhances one's experience of the painting. You can zoom in on paintings on a Fire. It's definitely worth perusing.
First, it's more than worth its price.There's a lot on info packed into the description of each painting including where each painting is located. To be able to see any Vermeer almost instantly is terrific. Be sure to use a device that's capable of color. Only 4 stars? Well the resolution is midland at best. makes one want to go see these amazing paintings in person!
Wonderful set of Vermeer's paintings with fascinating tidbits about how various works were discovered and rediscovered over the centuries, the possible use of the camera obscura, influences on Vermeer, and how several of the paintings were stolen and later recovered. I only wish some of the descriptions were longer.
This is a good exploration of Vermeer's work, where not only are the paintings presented, but close ups of details and some analysis of what the works were trying to convey to us. Vermeer's works are important to study (in my opinion) because it is a window into the beginnings of what we could call the middle class, as the Netherlands were becoming wealthy from trade and the old social structures of nobility and peasantry were being bridged by the increased prestige of skilled craftsmen and other trades that improved the living conditions of many people.
It is one of the great ironies in the history of Art that so few paintings were produced by Vermeer and so few of his works have survived. Yet those we have contain a haunting quality that is difficult to describe in mere words. Vermeer could make time stand still and induce the viewer to just stare in wonderment for hours on end even at a simple household scene.
He was a true Magician at using color and light to create Mystery and Mood.
One of the Great painters in all the world.
The elusive Vermer. I never thought I would see all of his some 35 paintings let alone with a back story of each painting with supposed origins and verified possessions by the various characters that came into his life and beyond. Needless to say his use of lighting was pretty remarkable and some discussion of his use of the technology of the time is gone into. It's certainly no secret his using a camera obscura. I like the segments of detail for each painting and how Vermeer was influencd by a given artist before approaching work with his own unique view. Much mystery still surrounds him, and maybe thats part of the draw. A somber brilliance and dignity of technique pervades each piece, even one of his early works ...a brothel painting; so uncharacteristic of his later work is so commanding in his brushwork, one can almost forgive the baudy content.
Given the sparsity of works by Vermeer, a volume including all the known works, as well as some predecessors and successors, becomes possible, along with commentary, analysis, and detail renderings, a combination that becomes somewhat irresistible in a volume like this which works handsomely in tablet format.
