People read too much into some "artists"--like Jackson Pollack--but too little into some of the true greats--like Vermeer, Leighton, Alma-Tadema, and Bouguereau.

I love Vermeer but I think people have a tendency to read way too much into his work.

A moral message or simply a beautiful scene?

Did Vermeer write about his work or otherwise provide insight into his motivations?
