WELCOME TO 2025: THE RENAISSANCE OF CONTEMPORARY REALISM

With the inaugural issue of Vermeer, we open a vivid arena for painters who render reality with breathtaking precision. Inside these pages you will meet Paul Béliveau’s learned still-lifes, Charles Bell’s jewel-bright Americana, Tom Blackwell’s polished chrome, the playful spoils of Jhonie van Boeijen, the lyrical graphite worlds of Paul Cadden, and many more—including a scholarly salute to Diego Velázquez, whose baroque mastery still guides today’s ateliers. Twice a year our magazine will pair luminous portfolios with incisive essays and interviews, restoring realism to the centre of cultural debate. Turn the first page and join a conversation where craftsmanship, curiosity and uncompromising truth once again take centre stage.
