What kind of art was Vermeer best known for?
Johannes (Jan) Vermeer (1632-1675) is a Dutchman best known for his paintings, of which only 35 or 36 are known to exist. For an artist with such modest output in such a short career, it is phenomenal how many subsequent artists he influenced; these include Gustave Courbet, van Gogh, Seurat, Edward Hopper, Salvador Dali and even Damien Hirst.
