What were vermeer's weaknesses?

Johannes Vermeer, while celebrated for his exceptional artistry, had several weaknesses. He struggled with financial instability throughout his life, often leading to debt and reliance on patrons. Additionally, his relatively small body of work—only about 34 known paintings—reflects a tendency toward meticulousness that may have limited his output. Furthermore, Vermeer’s focus on domestic scenes and quiet moments may have restricted his broader recognition compared to contemporaries who explored more varied themes.
