Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675)
Johannes Vermeer or Jan Vermeer was a Dutch baroque painter who specialized in domestic interior scenes of ordinary life. His entire life was spent in the town of Delft.
Vermeer was a moderately successful provincial painter in his lifetime.
He seems never to have been particularly wealthy, perhaps because he
produced relatively few paintings, leaving his wife and children in
debt at his death.
Virtually forgotten for nearly two hundred years, Vermeer was rediscovered in 1866 when the art critic Thoré Bürger published an essay attributing 66 pictures to him (only 35 paintings
are firmly attributed to him today). Since that time Vermeer's
reputation has grown, and he is now acknowledged as one of the greatest
painters of the Dutch Golden Age, and is particularly renowned for his masterly treatment and use of light in his work.

....si Alia es otra Vermeeriana !!,,,jajaja
Si es que somos lo más de lo más...jajaja 
Sí que parece que se van a mover, hace un uso de la luz que ya quisieran muchos grandes pintores que son más reconocidos que él.
Luego miraré, porque lo mismo hay suerte, y puede que tenga por ahí otro puzzle de "View of Delft" ( no prometo nada, pero creo que sí. Ya te digo algo
)

A mi también me gusta mucho Vermeer...
Sus obras parecen vivas, cómo si sus personajes se fueran a mover de un momento a otro, verdad?
