domestic interior scenes
Vermeer's genre paintings focused on showing everyday, intimate scenes from the lives of 17th-century Dutch people, especially women in domestic interiors. The artist painted them in a unique way, focusing on details, the play of light and a subtle rendering of the atmosphere. Vermeer's paintings, such as The Milkmaid, Girl with a Pearl Earring and The Postman, depict ordinary activities - reading letters, playing instruments, or doing housework - giving them elegance and deep peace. His genre painting is characterized by the masterful use of light and space, creating the illusion of the real world.
