With 13 children in the house , I understand the transcendental stillness in his art. The activity of developing each work was almost sacramental peace for him . Vermeer's personality-fingerprint , to me , is his unmistakable equisite COMPOSITION resolution ! That should be the first criteria for judging any future miraculous find of another work by Vermeer.
