Summary: Of the great painters of the past three centuries, none has left so many unanswered questions about himself, his goals, his theories, and influences as the man who has aptly been called the "Sphinx of Delft". Few important artists have produced such a modest harvest of paintings for a lifetime of work and surely none has been virtually unknown for so long after his death. And yet few painters have left such a glowing legacy of genius as did Jan Verneer.

Of the great painters of the past three centuries, none has left so many unanswered questions about himself, his goals, his theories, and influences as the man who has aptly been called the "Sphinx of Delft". Few important artists have produced such a modest harvest of paintings for a lifetime of work and surely none has been virtually unknown for so long after his death. And yet few painters have left such a glowing legacy of genius as did Jan Verneer.
