Jørgen Wadum: “Framing the Perspective: Painting Techniques of Vermeer, Whistler, Van Gogh, and Hammershøi”

The interiors of Danish painter Vilhelm Hammershøi reveal an understanding of light and its play in space comparable to that of Vermeer and Whistler, while his methods relate to those of Van Gogh.
