What a "lovely" post! I hope your Valentine's day was very happy!
I love Vermeer's work and one of my favorite places when we were in the Netherlands was visiting the Vermeer Center in Delft. No originals there (I was lucky to see a few in the Rijksmuseum) but repros of all, along with fascinating displays fully explaining the symbolism in his art, a place to see what the camera obscura was like, a terrific film on his life and work and much more. I would ADORE seeing this exhibit and want a full report when you go!
Thank you Jeanie. Even if there are no originals in the Vermeer Center in Delft, it is still a very good and interesting museum, and it gives a good insight into Vermeer's life. Our son studied there for a year so we had the opportunity to go there a couple of times. Still one of my favourite cities in the world. Will let you know how the exhibition turns out.
