From 10 February 2023 to 4 June 2023, the largest ever exhibition of paintings by Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) will be on view in the Rijksmuseum, including at least 28 works by the Delft master. The research into his paintings revealed new insights into Vermeer’s creative process, and the specific materials and techniques that he used. Also, new art historical research has led us to better understand Vermeer as a person and an artist.
