Vermeer's Young Woman with a Water Pitcher ca 1665 Postcard

A classic Baroque Painting, artwork that has passed into the public domain and makes wonderful gifts and other products. Another rather tranquil domestic scene, a classic Vermeer setting showing an everyday activity in his usual subdued and gentle tones. 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 grey, 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. All of our products are made with large scale images that have been carefully edited to provide the best resolution, colour and detail possible.
