10 February - 4 June 2023
More Vermeers in one place than ever before. A major retrospective entitled simply Vermeer will open at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam in February. The Rijksmuseum actually has four Vermeers in its collection, including his world-famous The Milk Maid. Museums all over the world have agreed to loan their Vermeer masterpieces for this special exhibition. And we of course are no exception: Diana and her Nymphs, View of Delft and our Girl with a Pearl Earring will all be taking a trip to the nation’s capital, because a Vermeer exhibition without our Girl is simply unthinkable.
Rijksmuseum and Mauritshuis: research partners
A team of curators, conservators and scientists from both the Rijksmuseum and the Mauritshuis are collaborating on a research project exploring the artistic choices, compositions and making process of master painter Johannes Vermeer. Together, we are growing ever closer to Vermeer.
Girl with a Pearl Earring
Vermeer’s most famous painting will be on display at the Rijksmuseum from 10 February to 30 March 2023. She will return home to the Mauritshuis on 1 April 2023.
Diana and her Nymphs
This masterpiece, painted in Vermeer’s distinctive dreamy style, will be at the Rijksmuseum from 10 February to 4 June 2023.
View of Delft
The most famous Dutch townscape of the seventeenth century will be at the Rijksmuseum from 10 February to 4 June 2023.
Johannes Vermeer: the Sphinx of Delft
Johannes Vermeer is a world-renowned Dutch painter who lived in the seventeenth century. He is known for his intimate domestic scenes and his unique way of rendering light. The fact that there are only 36 artworks which we know for certain were created by Vermeer makes the exhibition at the Rijksmuseum all the more extraordinary.
