The exhibition will explore the fascinating network of relationships between Vermeer and Dutch genre painters of the period 1650 to 1675, and will give visitors an insight into how Vermeer and his contemporaries admired, inspired and rivalled each other.

Conceived by the National Gallery of Ireland, this exhibition will bring together some 60 paintings from around the world. As many as 10 works by Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) will be included in the exhibition, which represents almost a third of Vermeer's surviving oeuvre and the third highest number of works by the artist ever assembled in the world.

The exhibition is organised by the National Gallery of Ireland in collaboration with the Musée du Louvre, Paris, and the National Gallery of Art, Washington. Tickets for the exhibition are selling fast. To learn more about the exhibition and book your tickets visit the National Gallery website.
