Johannes Vermeer
1632-1675.
The Thirty Years War still going strong
religion at war, lunacy age-long.
In this chaos our hero born
sixteen thirty two Europe war torn.
Delft an industrious town
certainly not run down.
Tapestry, delftware an artistic clique
later becoming quite unique.
Its unclear who trained Vermeer
he didn't write about his career.
Dutch Golden Age his style
baroque though versatile.
His full oeuvre we're not to sure
thirty four have been accounted for.
A long time favourite of mine
he takes you there, true, fine.
