Johannes Vermeer's The Music Lesson (circa1663) Canvas Print

A Classic Baroque Painting of a woman playing piano, artwork that has passed into the public domain and makes wonderful gifts and other products. Here is one of his typical indoor domestic scenes of people engaged in everyday activities. As is usual in his paintings where men appear, the man here plays a secondary role. Johannes (or Jan, or Johan) Vermeer was a Dutch Baroque painter who is known for his distinctive palette of blue and yellow. Van Gogh was influenced and quite intrigued by Vermeer, calling him a "strange painter" whose palette "consists of blue, cornflower yellow , pearl gray, black and white." Vermeer's work typically shows portraits and scenes from domestic life, and he has gone from obscurity to becoming one of the most admired painters of his era.
