Description: This revelatory biography persuasively addresses the two great unresolved questions about Vermeer: why did he paint his pictures, and what do they mean?
Brief description: Andrew Graham-Dixon is an art historian, biographer, and broadcaster. He was for many years the main art critic of the Independent and The Sunday Telegraph and is the author of the award-winning biography Caravaggio: A Life Sacred and Profane. He lives in East Sussex.
Review Quotes: Vermeer is art detective-work at its best. The joy of it is that Graham-Dixon's discoveries deepen the love, as well as the understanding, of an already dearly beloved Master.--Sue Prideaux, author of Wild Thing: A Life of Paul Gaugin
