About
Vermeer: The Greatest Exhibition
Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum comes to Lisburn! The largest Vermeer exhibition in history, with loans from across the world, this major retrospective has Vermeer’s most famous masterpieces, including Girl with a Pearl Earring, The Geographer, The Milkmaid, The Little Street, Lady Writing a Letter with her Maid, and Woman Holding a Balance.
This new Exhibition on Screen film invites audiences to a private view of the exhibition, accompanied by the director of the Rijksmuseum and the curators of the show. A truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! As well as bringing Vermeer’s works together, both the Rijksmuseum and the Mauritshuis in the Hague have conducted research into Vermeer’s artistry, his artistic choices and motivations for his compositions, as well as the creative process behind his paintings.
Includes the first time the newly restored Girl Reading a Letter at the Open Window will be displayed.
“We would not have thought it possible that so many museums are willing to lend their masterpieces. With this exhibition we can introduce a new generation to Vermeer’s paintings…” Taco Dibbits, Director of the Rijksmuseum
Directed by David Bickerstaff
Running time: 90 minutes
