The Spanish were long expelled from the dutch provinces when Dutch genre painting bloomed. Rubens was an imperial envoy. As for Vermeer, the poor man could not paint teeth, or guitars, and most of his women had receding foreheads and looked mentally retarded. (Girl in Red Hat and Girl with a Whistle are his daughter, I believe.) He often used a camera oscura, and a mahlstick (the artist in his studio). If you will view his original paintings with a pinhole (or fingertip) camera you will sometimes see a striking three dimensional effect.
