Vermeer's Hat

From the epicentre of Delft in the Netherlands, the author takes the paintings of Johannes Vermeer and uses details of them as a series of entry points to the widest circles of world trade and cultural exchange in the seventeenth century. His vision embraces many stories - of an African slave and a Chinese aesthete, and of Vermeer himself.
