| Painter, born in Beemster, The Netherlands. He studied under Rembrandt, and from c.1650 lived mainly in Delft, where he was killed in an explosion. Vermeer was much influenced by Fabritius's sensitive experiments in composition and the painting of light as in the tiny ‘View of Delft’ (1652, National Gallery, London). |
