Opening Day February 10, 2023
Vermeer at the Rijksmuseum
February 10 – June 4, 2023, The Rijksmuseum promised the largest Johannes Vermeer exhibition, entitled Vermeer. The magnitude of this exhibition was envisioned in the research projects leading up to the February 10, 2023 opening.
Today, I am traveling virtually to The Rijksmuseum to find the stories behinds the paintings. Join me at this exciting event.
Stephen Fry will guide online visitors.
In a press release on January 17, 2023, Rijksmuseum launched the digital Vermeer experience Closer to Johannes Vermeer. This virtual experience is available for free to all Vermeer lovers around the world.
Stephen Fry (English language) and Joy Delima (Dutch language) guide online visitors to explore the artist’s work and personal life. As promised, I was “able to zoom in on the tiniest pigment particles in pin-sharp detail via ultra-high resolution photographs of some Vermeer paintings.”

The Vermeer exhibit at the Rijksmuseum is a must-see for every art enthusiast.
The Dutch master Johannes Vermeer is one of the most renowned painters of the Dutch Golden Age. This exhibit features a selection of his most famous paintings: “The Milkmaid,” “The Little Street,” and “The Astronomer.” Several of Vermeer’s lesser-known works, such as “The Music Lesson” and “The Geographer” will be displayed. The exhibit also includes a selection of Vermeer’s drawings and sketches, as well as a selection of his personal letters and documents. The Vermeer exhibit at the Rijksmuseum offers a unique glimpse into the life and work of one of the most celebrated painters of the Dutch Golden Age.
