The tale of a man who loved painting. Everyone knows of the Flemish/Dutch painter of the 16th century and his wondrous but small collection of masters. However, when he died, heavily in debt, his paintings were sold to settle those debts and they were dispersed. Jan Vermeer ceased to exist &hellips; until an art critic and collector a hundred and fifty years later found one of his paintings &hellips; the City of Delft. It's only then that Vermeer's mastery was exposed to inspire generations of artists since. This book is another of the series: “Shapers of our Age.” It is a section of a full-length book that will deal with tales of other innovative and creative people from history.
