“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

In February 2023, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam opened its doors to the largest Johannes Vermeer exhibition in history with 28 of 38 of his paintings (attributions skew the final number) on view across ten galleries.  Over 200,000 tickets have already been purchased for the exhibition running through early June with the first two months of the exhibition sold out.

With loans from across the world, this major retrospective will bring together 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. 2023, U.K., DCP, 90 minutes. Recommended for 16+.
