Jan Vermeer - Dutch, 1632 - 1675 . Also called Johannes, Johan, and Johannis
Johannes Vermeer did not attend a formal art school as we understand it today. He was likely trained through an apprenticeship under a master painter, which was a common practice in the 17th century. Vermeer spent his life in Delft, and there is no record of a specific institution he attended for art education. His development as an artist is attributed to his own study of techniques and the influence of other artists in his locale.
Johannes Vermeer was influenced by several artists, particularly the Dutch painter Carel Fabritius, whose work in chiaroscuro and innovative compositions can be seen in Vermeer's early pieces. He was also inspired by the broader movement of Dutch Golden Age painting, including the techniques of artists like Rembrandt and Frans Hals. Additionally, the use of light and color in Italian Baroque painting, especially the works of Caravaggio, likely impacted Vermeer’s style and approach to depicting domestic scenes.
In "Chasing Vermeer" by Blue Balliett, Vermeer refers to the famous Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer, known for his masterful use of light and color in his paintings.

They embark on a quest to solve the mystery of the missing painting, using clues from Vermeer's art and their own creativity.
