This
artist dates back to the 17th century, but Johannes Vermeer
has stood the test of time. He was born in 1632
His father died when he was twenty and Vermeer married at
twenty-one. Johannes Vermeer went on to have eleven
children. At the same time of his marriage, he
registered as a master painter, having honed the skill since
he was a young boy. The 2009 Vermeer calendars show
his work nearly 400 years after the fact, proving a true
testament to the paintings he created. Unfortunately,
in the late 1600's, the art market fell on rough times and
Johannes Vermeer ran out of money. He was clearly not
selling 2009 Vermeer calendars just yet. He died in 1675 a broke
man. He left his family with much debt. |
