Best Answer

The consensus is that he created 36 paintings, although some contend that there are only 35. Because Vermeer was subjected to substantial forgery, the number of authentic Vermeers - in spite of his having died in 1675 - has fluctuated over time. A leading expert at the Met, who has invested much effort in this debate, is a proponent of 36.
