Johannes Vermeer produced only about thirty-five surviving paintings across his short career in seventeenth-century Delft, which is partly why each one has become its own event in art history and partly why the Girl with a Pearl Earring has been able to carry the weight of so much cultural baggage. The Vermeer 2027 Wall Calendar from The Gifted Stationery Co. reproduces twelve of those paintings, from the View of Delft that shows the whole city from across the harbor to the small, carefully-lit domestic interiors that made Vermeer the defining painter of Dutch quiet. The printing holds the specific cool-blue tonality and the soft natural light that still puzzles scholars trying to work out exactly how the painter got it.
