'Johannes Vermeer created luscious canvases of limited scope: 
generally women and men in seventeenth-century rooms, but 
also occasional outdoor scenes, allegory and religious themes. 
The fascination lies between the intricate combination of light, 
colour, proportion and scale that enhances the moods and reality 
of the subjects.'
