Resumen de Vermeer's Impact on His Contemporaries
The writer aims to demonstrate that, contrary to the assumption that Johannes Vermeer's works were locked away and known only to a few collectors, there were in fact several leading Dutch genre painters of the third quarter of the 17th century who admired and borrowed elements from his work. He argues that instead of inspiring many followers, Vermeer's work acted as a point of departure to several of his contemporaries, some of whom were older and had initially influenced him during the earlier part of his career.
