Andrew Graham-Dixon - Vermeer: A Life Lost and Found

Girl with a Pearl Earring , A View of Delft and Woman Reading a Letter are world famous paintings but little is known about the enigmatic Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer who created them.

He left fewer than forty paintings and died penniless.

Acclaimed art historian, Andrew Graham-Dixonreveals new archival material to give a different understanding of this master painter.

His research challenges ideas of the artist as an isolated genius and shows him as a man deeply embedded in the radical, intellectual and political life of his age.

Vermeers friendships, his ties to a radical underground movement and the women who shaped his private life and career cast a new light on the artist, the man and his work.Ticket only is 20.
