CLOSER TO VERMEER
As a more in-depth successor to the bestselling Vermeer book – co-published by Hannibal and the Rijksmuseum – this second volume offers new art historical and technical research into the work and process of the famous Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer.
We developed the typesetting and interior layout for this extensive and richly illustrated book, alongside Irma Boom Office and building on their design for the first title.

“How did Vermeer translate his creative ideas into paint? Did the 17th-century Dutch master truly rely on optical devices? What do the carefully rendered objects in his interiors reveal about the artist himself? And how has the perception of his small but extraordinary oeuvre evolved over time? Using the latest imaging techniques, researchers scrutinize Vermeer’s masterpieces, yielding compelling new insights into his artistic process, material choices, and technical virtuosity.”
