  Johannes Vermeer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alongside Rembrandt, Vermeer is the best known painter of the Dutch Golden Age, and his paintings are admired for their transparent colours, careful composition, and brilliant use of light.
Vermeer produced transparent colours by adding the paint onto the canvas in loosely granular layers, a technique called pointillé (not to be confused with pointillism).
David Hockney, among other historians, has speculated that Vermeer possibly used a camera obscura to achieve precise positioning in his compositions, and this view seems to be supported by certain light and perspective effects which would be the result of lenses and not the naked eye; however, the issue is disputed by many other historians.

 Vermeers Camera, Uncovering the Truth Behind the Masterpieces. A Book by Philip Steadman
Maria Thins's house and the Vermeer family inn 'Mechelen' - the two buildings in which it has been suggested that the artist might have worked - were both demolished in the 19th century, and there seem to be no drawings of their north-facing facades in which one might recognise the very windows of Vermeer's studio.
The second is the degree to which Vermeer's representation of other pieces of furniture, and architectural details, are typical of houses and styles of interior decoration of the period, even if we cannot identify the originals themselves.
A second criticism of a similar nature is that Vermeer shows ceiling beams, in three paintings, running across the picture from left to right; where in typical Delft houses of the period - it is claimed - they would have run in the perpendicular direction, away from the viewer and towards the far wall.

Painted in 1934, The Ghost of Vermeer of Delft which Can be Used as a Table is one of Dali's most precise "miniatures." The artist described such work from the mid 1930s as "hand-painted photographs in color," and indeed the precision of detail and luminosity of this painting give it the appearance of a photograph.
Vermeer's work is often described as "photographic," as it is renowned for its inner luminosity and rich detail.

 The Cittern in Vermeer's Paintings
Perhaps it held a particular iconographical meaning which was more evident to his viewers, although it can certainly not be ruled out that its peculiar sound and no doubt, its curious almond-like form would have equally appealed to his aesthetic sensibilities.
In Italian Renaissance humanist culture the cittern was regarded as a classical revival of the ancient Greek kithara (from which its name derives; see Winternitz), but it seems to have its direct development from the medieval citole and have likewise some similarities with the fiddle, as its plucked form.
Many tuning systems were used and employed usually the "re-entrant"-tuning (the first and second course were tuned down an octave, so that the third course was then the highest and became the melody course).
