Girl with a Pearl Earring: Dutch Paintings from the Mauritshuis
Girl with a Pearl Earring: Dutch Paintings from the Mauritshuis will mark the first time Johannes Vermeer's iconic painting will be seen in the Southeast.
The painting headlines the exhibition, which highlights the artistic genius of Dutch Golden Age painters, including Vermeer, Rembrandt van Rijn, Frans Hals and Jan Steen, through the presentation of more than 35 exceptional works.
Through landscapes and portraits, Girl with a Pearl Earring: Dutch Paintings from the Mauritshuis will explore the idea that Dutch artists more readily embraced paintings of everyday subjects than their southern European contemporaries, focusing on capturing commonplace scenes of daily life. Dutch artists not only recorded representations of the domestic interior, still lifes and boisterous crowds, but often imbued these scenes with moral undertones and humorous, sarcastic wit.
Key paintings featured in the exhibition include:
Johannes Vermeer, Girl with a Pearl Earring, ca. 1665 Carel Fabritius, Goldfinch, 1654 Rembrandt van Rijn, "Tronie" of a Man with a Feathered Beret, ca. 1635 Jan Steen, The Way You Hear It, Is The Way You Sing It, ca. 1665 Jacob van Ruisdael, View of Haarlem with Bleaching Grounds, 1670–1675
