In general, the story of Vermeer absolutely incredible: in the XVIII century, his works attributed to Rembrandt (while for us to clear a huge difference between these artists).
At the end of XVIII century Vermeer opened Charles Le Brun (Charles "Le Brun), husband of artist Elizatet Vigee-Lebrun, a famous playboy, red tape, and art dealer.
But then it you can imagine, once again forgotten (just as a peasant, who was lying in hospital next to the one my friend: he had drunk had fallen from the 9 th floor at 3-d it "caught but not kept; result - fell in the snow, broke his little finger)!
Then - see an excellent post in Leningrad.
