This is a picture by Vermeer. This picture reminds me of what we were just learning about in global class. In global we were learning about baroque art and we learned a little about Vermeer. We learned how since he was a dutch baroque artist he painted very plain paintings. All of his paintings are very pretty to me this one in particular. This picture is of his view of Haarlem from his vantage point. In my opinion Vermeer was a very talented artist and i very much enjoy looking at his work. When ever i look at this though i am reminded about global class. Global is my favorite subject and even though my global teacher is pretty hard this year I am still very interested by it. So when ever i see this picture I am reminded about that. Also one of my favorite books when i was little was Chasing Vermeer. I loved that book and i must have read it at least 4 times. So when ever i look at this picture i think of that as well. Also this picture kind of looks like the view from my grandparents house and that also makes me happy. Over all this picture just makes me happy when i see it.
