Ruth Bernard Yeazell: Vermeer’s Afterlives
August 24, 2026
Tonight on Inquiry we welcome back RUTH BERNARD YEAZELL. She is Sterling Professor of English at Yale University. We are continuing our conversation about her new book VERMEER’S AFTERLIVES. Tonight we talk about artists who found an inspiration in Vermeer, film makers who have used Vermeer’s canvases as a visual touchstone, and the crazy story of one prolific Vermeer forger.
