Was anyone else disappointed that only one Vermeer was on display at the Vancouver Art Gallery’s exposition of Dutch painters? While I know that Vermeer created only a small number of paintings in his lifetime and that the Rijksmuseum probably only has a very few of them, it was a little disappointing to me. I was hoping to see at least one red hat or pearl earring or some other piece for comparison.
At least it hasn’t curbed my plans for a European vacation which includes Paris (The Louvre) and The Hague (Mauritshuis).
In spite of the above, the exhibition at the Art Gallery this summer is well worth seeing. Make time to look at the way houses have been furnished over the last six decades while you are there. It’s fascinating.
