"Windows" in His Artworks - Johannes Vermeer
Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) had become the subject of detailed interior paintings. His inspiration was taken from the daily events of life, and the figures were usually near the window on the left, according to the viewer. One of the most important features of Vermeer was its use of light. In the paintings, the source of the light was the window and the light was always on the left.
