As well as a unique encounter with the work of the great 17th Century artist, VERMEER: THE GREATEST EXHIBITION reveals insights from the team behind the Exhibition, world-renowned curators and Vermeer experts, shedding new light on Vermeer's mysterious life and masterful work, the artistic choices and motivations for his compositions, as well as the creative process behind his paintings.

One of the great Dutch Masters, Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) lived and worked in Delft. His work is best known for his tranquil, introverted indoor scenes, his unprecedented use of bright, colourful light and his convincing illusionism. Luxurious fabrics and dangling pearls make his masterpieces a feast for the eyes not to be missed.
