Johannes Vermeer: SECRETS Behind 'Woman Reading a Letter'. Hi there! Today, we are going to tell you more about Johannes Vermeer. The famous dutch painter Johannes Vermeer (16321675) lived and worked in Delft. His work is best known for his tranquil, introverted indoor scenes, his unprecedented use of bright, colorful light and his convincing illusionism. Some of his famous works are The Love Letter, The Little Street, The Milkmaid and Woman Reading a Letter.
