Vermeer is a dutch baroque painter of the 17th century.
One of my favorite works by him is the allegory of faith because it depicts such a strong religous icon of faith in a struggle and having to deal with a large amount of pain. This could relate to Vermeers own struggle with faith. The painting has a few well placed religious icons such as the snake being crushed, the crucifix and the painting of Jesus on the cross. In this painting there is an intersection of faith and sin that is depicted strongly.
