Biography
Johannes Vermeer is a world-renowned Dutch-Baroque painter who specialized in scenes of middle-class indoor life and his use of light in his work.[1]
Joannis Reijniersz (Vermeer) was baptized in Delft on 31 October 1632 as son of Reijnier Jansz. (Vos) and Digna Balthazars

Jan was an avid art collector and dealer. He never traveled, though, and performed his collecting close to home.[1]
Despite his modern popularity, during his lifetime, he was not as well regarded, so much so that his family was left in debt upon his death.[1]
He was buried in the Oude Kerk (Old Church) in Delft.[3]

We are featuring this profile in the Connection Finder this week. Between now and Wednesday is a good time to take a look at the sources and biography to see if there are updates and improvements that need made, especially those that will bring it up to WikiTree Style Guide standards. We know it's short notice, so don't fret too much. Just do what you can.
Thanks!
