Manuel Montoya after Vermeer : Oil on canvas

In 1992, the fascination that Montoya always felt for Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) inspired him to paint a copy of one of Vermeer's pictures.  It started as a game, but it became a proyect that was both ambitious and difficult to accomplish: to reproduce in detail the works that he admired most of the Dutch 17th century master.

They are 27 works, 2 of which are duplicated from the 37 pieces recognized as originals from the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer.
