AUTHENTICITY: There are thirty-four paintings which modern scholars overwhelmingly agree should be attributed to Johannes Vermeer of Delft.
Three works are included in this catalogue which have not received unanimous acceptance: the Saint Praxedis, the Young Lady Seated at the Virginals and the Girl with a Flute. However, all three have been accepted by at least one authoritative Vermeer expert.
The inclusion of these three pictures does not represent approval or disapproval but, rather, the belief that their inclusion benefits research and open discussion in merit.
TITLES: Over the years, scholars and museums have given a number of titles to each of Vermeer's paintings. For the sake of uniformity, the titles used in this catalogue are those found in Arthur K. Wheelock's catalogue in Vermeer and the Art of Painting (pp. 169 -186).
DATING: Since very few of Vermeer's paintings were dated by his own hand, the dates proposed in this catalogue are a distillation of those estimated by two contemporary Vermeer scholars: Walter Liedtke and Arthur Wheelock. To resolve discrepancies among them, a range of their dates for each painting has been indicated.
