Vermeer Was a Photographer

<p>One of Vermeer&rsquo;s most popular works, The Girl with the Pearl Earring, had already been taken out of the exhibition in April to return to its place at the Mauritshuis in The Hague in time for the tourist season. Although I have seen this painting in the Mauritshuis before (it is very beautiful), this was still mildly disappointing.</p> <p>Vermeer has only painted around 37 paintings in his lifetime and 27 were on display, so despite the crowds we were out in under an hour. It was very busy, but we got to see all the paintings up close.</p> <p><a href="https://johnnyburger.medium.com/vermeer-was-a-photographer-d3eaf3ab8c64"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
