Vermeer: The Complete Works. 45th Ed. (45th Edition)

36 X 25cm pages, Great Quality paper, the Complete collection, double page and even triple page spreads showing closeup details ADJACENT to the full image (printed on a single page). BEAUTIFUL. I prefer this to the recent Rijksmuseum publication.

Arrived promptly on Amazon Prime, Thank you! Beautiful illustrations! Knowledgable text. A great survey of his work.

Having bought this for an art lover of Vermeer I was tempted to dip in and leaf through the text and pictures and it did not dissapoint. It has a good balance of illustrations combined with an informative text. A good size and fairly priced. I'd recommend

This is amazing value for money. The quality of the book, paper and reproduction of the paintings is all first class. Very comprehensive account of all Vermeer's paintings and life; also includes paintings and accounts of painters from the same era. I especially liked the close-ups of details of Vermeer's works - marvellous

Good quality paper….. far better than more expensive official guide at recent Rijksmuseum exhibition. All round good value.

Bought this as a present for my wife who loves Vermeer's work. The book is well-written, the quality of reproduction is fine, the scope of the treatment is comprehensive, and it is a solid and resilient item to handle. And don't get me wrong, the artwork does come alive on the page. What's not to like? Yup, that is the conundrum. And the answer is obvious: it is too small. The format, no doubt down to budgetary considerations, is simply too miserly to allow the reader to absorb the full impact of Vermeer's masterpieces. Perhaps that's the point. Perhaps if you are going to really get to grips with this art, you need to visit the galleries where they are displayed. Make the book two inches taller and wider, and now you'd be talking.

The ideal reference for the major Vermeer exhibition in Amsterdam, and visiting the Mauritshouse in Den Haag

The quality of the reproductions is excellent. Unfortunately the paper sleeve arrived torn which is a shame, presumably due to poor packaging. I cannot comment on the quality of the text as have not had time to read as yet, hopefully soon.

But the font size is too small! Not reader friendly, wish the font size is just a bit bigger to make it a perfect book. That being said, the images quality and close up images are invaluable! This is the only book that you will need for Vermeer!

Item had a little damage. I will return it and order a new one.

Excelente libro.

Qualidade incrível do texto e excelente reprodução das obras, principalmente de detalhes! Recomendo comprar toda a coleção em tamanho XXL
