Talk:Johannes Vermeer
From Academic Kids
I made a redirect here from Jan Vermeer (though nothing links to it), but shouldn't the article be at Jan Vermeer instead? They get about an equal number of Google hits (38 800 for Johannes, 34 000 for Jan), but my first instinct when I was looking for him here today was to search for Jan.

The museums here could use links, many have articles. -- Jmabel 00:25, Sep 23, 2004 (UTC)

TO DO: mention the role Vermeer played in Proust at a time before he had reached his current popularity. Notjim 13:36, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Ok, I added a link under influences Notjim 14:02, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Also, the Italian version of this is fantastic, it has an entry for every one of the pictures, anyone fancy translating the Italian? Notjim 13:44, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Finally, I added the new one: A Young Woman seated at the Virginals, maybe someone would like to comment on this attributation in the main text, I amn't really qualified, my understand is just that it is widely accepted. Notjim 14:02, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
List of Works
As I understand it there are 34 surviving works generally attributed to Vermeer (see for example [1] (http://www.artchive.com/artchive/V/vermeer.html)). However, we currently have a list of 36 works. Can anyone spot the repetitions or falsely attributed works? -- Solipsist 19:43, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
