Vermeer had a preference for timeless, subdued moments. It remains enigmatic because of the inimitable color scheme and the astonishing light content. Vermeer's paintings, mostly genre scenes and a few history paintings, allegories and cityscapes, are distinguished by a subtle use of color and an ideal composition. He sometimes used expensive pigments and had a great preference for ultramarine and lead tin yellow.
