The Concert
Johannes Vermeer · 1663
Why it's great
Three musicians, a woman at the keyboard, another woman singing and a man with a lute, are in a room with a checked floor. Johannes Vermeer painted it in about 1663. It was stolen from a Boston museum in 1990 and has not been found.

Johannes Vermeer was a Dutch painter born in Delft in 1632. He painted calm scenes of women in sunlit rooms, with pearls, maps, letters and music, and made fewer than 40 paintings that we know of. He died in 1675, and he was almost forgotten until the 1800s.
