This rich and rewarding volume accompanies a wide-ranging exhibition, which opened to deserved acclaim at New York's Metropolitan Museum and is currently on view at the National Gallery in London. Vermeer's popularity has continued to soar in recent years, and this well-deserved recognition is validated in this catalog, which brings 16 of his existing canvases together with contextual information that explains the paintings as more than works of an isolated genius. The book reveals the riches of the 17th-century Dutch town itself, a center for patrons, art dealers, and artists creating both decorative and fine arts. The reader enjoys a neighborhood view of the offerings from the studios of De Hooch, van der Ast, Bramer, van Vleit, and Steen. The excellent essays by Liedtke and his fellow curators at the Met and the National Gallery evoke the artistic life of Delft from 1200 to 1700 and the rich history of the town's influence on Dutch culture. Whether they are looking for an overview of the period in Europe or for detailed information on an individual canvas, library users will find this volume helpful. Destined to become a standard reference, this is among the best museum publications of the last decade. Recommended for all libraries. Doug McClemont, New York

From Booklist
This splendid volume, and the exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art that it accompanied, asks a historically significant question: Was there a seventeenth-century Delft School? Vermeer is beloved for his intimate domestic interiors either way, but the works of artists affectionately referred to as "little masters," artists who never approached Vermeer's level, benefit from being viewed in this context. As the somewhat scholarly but certainly accessible text and numerous beautiful color reproductions of paintings, drawings, and decorative pieces attest, many of these works are extraordinary for the insights they provide into the culture of Delft and the early free market for art. Approximately half of Vermeer's known works, some of which haven't traveled in more than a century, are represented and discussed, as are works by his teacher, Carel Fabritius, making this volume as pleasurable as it is informative.
