Does anyone know an example of the lens effects Vermeer painted?

I know a painter who paints depth of field from pictures he takes. But the lens effects of Vermeer are unknown to me.

It's called chromatic aberration. Cheaper lenses will show the effect more. Basically different frequencies of light end up with different optical densities which create different refractive indexes, separating them like a prism.
