About the article "Johannes Vermeer", section "Abstract".

Candidate passages:
Johannes, Jan or Johan Vermeer (; 1632 – December 1675) was a Dutch painter who specialized in domestic interior scenes of middle-class life.
Vermeer was a moderately successful provincial genre painter in his lifetime.
He seems never to have been particularly wealthy, leaving his wife and children in debt at his death, perhaps because he produced relatively few paintings.
Vermeer worked slowly and with great care, using bright colours and sometimes expensive pigments, with a preference for lapis lazuli and Indian yellow.
He is particularly renowned for his masterly treatment and use of light in his work.
Vermeer painted mostly domestic interior scenes.
"Almost all his paintings are apparently set in two smallish rooms in his house in Delft; they show the same furniture and decorations in various arrangements and they often portray the same people, mostly women.
"Recognized during his lifetime in Delft and The Hague, his modest celebrity gave way to obscurity after his death; he was barely mentioned in Arnold Houbraken's major source book on 17th-century Dutch painting ("Grand Theatre of Dutch Painters and Women Artists"), and was thus omitted from subsequent surveys of Dutch art for nearly two centuries.
In the 19th century, Vermeer was rediscovered by Gustav Friedrich Waagen and Théophile Thoré-Bürger, who published an essay attributing sixty-six pictures to him, although only thirty-four paintings are universally attributed to him today.
Since that time, Vermeer's reputation has grown, and he is now acknowledged as one of the greatest painters of the Dutch Golden Age.
The first Vermeer exclusive industrial dealership was established in Findlay, Ohio, in 1960.
I n 1967, having expanded the original factory several times and with 541 employees, the company purchased land east of Pella and moved into its first new factory building on that site.
By the end of the decade, Vermeer quadrupled in size and had dealerships open in Iowa, Wisconsin, California, Kansas, Michigan, Florida, Georgia, New York and Maryland.
Vermeer International was incorporated in Goes, the Netherlands as a subsidiary of Vermeer Manufacturing Co. in 1970.
In 2008, the name was changed to Vermeer EMEA to represent the Vermeer office for Europe, Middle East and Africa.
Vermeer opened its first Chinese dealership in Shanghai in 2002.
In 2003, Lely and Vermeer form an alliance that allows Vermeer to market and service Lely hay and forage equipment in the U.S. under the Vermeer brand.
The years 2008 and 2009 brought about more expansion.
Lely and Vermeer signed a joint acquisition agreement to acquire Welger Maschinenfabrik GmbH in Wolfenbuettel, Germany, to increase global presence in grassland machinery and baling equipment.
Vermeer also purchased Wildcat Manufacturing in Freeman, South Dakota, a manufacturer of trommel screens and compost turners.
In addition, the company opened an office in Singapore to provide additional sales, marketing, equipment and parts support to the Asia-Pacific region.
The following year, a new facility in Valinhos, Brazil was opened to serve the needs of the Latin American market.
Meanwhile, at the corporate headquarters in Pella, Vermeer constructed the premiere Global Pavilion training center and museum in the mid 1990s, and introduced a Vermeer Health Services Center in 2002 – providing employees with health services at no cost to them.
And in 2013, Vermeer unveiled plans for a Vermeer Early Learning Center to be constructed near the factory, at the home place of Gary and Matilda Vermeer.
The center is to provide childcare services. 
Responding to the internet medium, Janson created a website called "Essential Vermeer" in 2001.
"Essential Vermeer "has developed into the primary internet resource for Vermeer studies and the most comprehensive website dedicated to a single painter.
"Essential Vermeer" presents a balanced in-depth study of the life, art and cultural milieu of Johannes Vermeer comprising hundreds of web pages, thousands of images, collaborative studies, interviews with Vermeer notables and multi-media features.
The site includes a complete interactive catalogue of the Dutch artist which permits the navigator to access extensive information on each work using images mapping and expandable topic boxes.
Janson issues a free newsletter which keeps thousands of subscribers informed about Vermeer-related exhibitions, publications and multi-media events.
Janson’s commitment has brought the "Essential Vermeer" to the attention of art historians and specialists in 17th-century Dutch art as well as writers who use it regularly as a reference point.
He travels extensively and is in constant contact with museum personnel and art historians involved with Dutch genre painting and specifically with the work of Vermeer.
