Vermeer

Flying to Amsterdam tomorrow to see the Vermeer exhibition at the Rijksmuseum - feel very lucky to have tickets!

Many years ago I saw a previous Vermeer exhibition in the Mauritshuis in The Hague. I still have a bag I bought with ‘ The girl with the pearl earring’ on it and postcards of other paintings. ‘The view of Delft’ is one of my favourites. The Mautitshuis is such a lovely setting with the lake behind it and ‘ The Plein’ in the front.in the front, a small but lovely museum.

I went to the exhibition - booked as soon as it was announced - and would love to see the film but it had very limited distribution. LJPI what paimting do you mean? I don't think Vermeer ever painted Amsterdam.

Lucky you GG.
Is the painting mentioned the one of Delft? They discussed it in detail near the beginning of the film. If I remember they talked about the threatening cloudy sky, but I don't ont think there was any rain?

Saw it at the Odeon a few weeks ago; very limited showing - two shows - about 12 in audience! It was costly (nearing £50 in total) as they put it in the premium seating screenroom.
That said, it was worth the cost as it was wonderful. You got to see the pictures in a way you wouldn't have in Amsterdam. No crowds; no sweat. A very nice experience.

I saw it a couple of weeks ago at the cinema also. Wasn't it amazing? Apparently the queues at the Rijksmuseum are round the block so we probably saw more without being hurried along.

Vermeer is underestimated. There is a lovely painting of Amsterdam in the rain - do look at it if you can. The reproductions do not do it justice.

Thé film was show a few weeks ago at my local cinema. Luckily it was in English with French subtitles.

Thanks Joseann I think I've missed it by a whisker

Scott Cinemas (West Country)
Have you tried looking on Art Galleries' websites maybe?

I would have loved to see this, but it doesn't seem to be on everywhere.
Which cinema chain did you catch it Joseann?

I would love to have see that. He’s always been one of my favourite painters. I was fascinated also by Hans Van Meegeren, the forger who traded Herman Goering one of his forged Vermeers for a hundred and forty seven looted old masters. He fooled the art world for a long time but his meticulous techniques were his downfall in the end.

Thank you .
I'd like to see it on line .
I love Vermeer's paintings .

This exhibition is completely sold out and has been for a long time. It is possible to view it online. Amsterdam is well worth a visit for anyone interested in art.
