After studying under Carel Fabritiuis, Jan Vermeer entered the Guild of St. Luke where he was head in 1662 and 1670. Vermeer died at the young age of 43, leaving behind a wife and eight children. His work received little credit until five years after his death. Vermeer painted small domestic scenes, recognizable by the use of light and tone.
