Jan VerMeer was considered by Salvador Dali as one of the 2 greatest painters of all time (the other painter was Diego Valezquez.) In VerMeer's compositions you feel you are seeing a slice of real life unfolding before you- or a still from a beautifully shot movie! The wealth of detail (metal, maps) atmosphere, rectangles of color areas (here the 3 primary colors Red, Blue and Yellow) and according to Sir Norman Speed- the use of cool tones which in painting had been dominated by warm browns before hand.
