After completing his studies of art history and archaeology at the University of Vienna, Karl Schütz joined the staff of the Gemäldegalerie of the city’s Kunsthistorisches Museum, serving from 1972 as a curator and from 1990 to 2011 as its director. His particular scholarly interests include Netherlandish and Flemish painting, early-16th-century German painting, courtly portraiture, and the history of the Gemäldegalerie collection.
“A beautiful volume!”
*The Financial Times*
“…no publication to date does as well presenting the artist’s
original paintings. The book can, on occasion, be more helpful than
standing in front of the works themselves.”
*Hyperallergic.com*
“The quality of the reproductions is unparalleled. The colors,
Vermeer’s fantastic blue above all, shine forth in their pristine
radiance. Spectacular.”
*Le Figaro*
“No one was ever so close to Vermeer’s pictures as in this book,
and certainly no one will ever get so close at an exhibition.”
*Die Welt*
