Though untraveled, Vermeer was well connected with other artists, including Gerald Ter Borch and Dirk van Baburen, and might have been influenced by Caravaggio and Carel Fabritius, the brilliant student of Rembrandt.
It is the evolution of Vermeer's artistic practice from the "broadness of vision and execution" of his early history painting; through a period of technical refinement and complexity, partly inspired by the works and techniques of Fabritius, de Hooch and ter Borch (the genre paintings and cityscapes of the early to mid-1660s); to an independent period of simplification and abstraction (the genre paintings and, presumably, the religious allegory of the 1670s) (163-65).
