48. Andrew Graham-Dixon: Vermeer
The paintings of Johannes Vermeer – The Girl with a Pearl Earring, A View of Delft and The Milkmaid – are some of the most sublime in the history of art. Yet until now they have, like the life of Vermeer himself, defied explanation. Following new leads, and drawing on a mass of historical evidence, art historian, biographer and broadcaster Andrew Graham-Dixon paints a dramatically new picture of Vermeer, revealing previously unknown friendships as well as his undetected allegiance to a persecuted, underground radical movement.
