When the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague loaned its most famous work for an exhibition in 2023, it needed to find something to fill the empty space left by Johannes Vermeer’s iconic “Girl with a Pearl Earring.”.

The blockbuster exhibition of paintings by Dutch Master Johannes Vermeer has closed its doors for the final time.

A blockbuster exhibition at the Netherlands’ national museum of art and history is bringing together 28 works by 17th-century Dutch master Johannes Vermeer.

Two Belgian activists who targeted Johannes Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring” in a climate protest last week have been sentenced to two months in prison, with prosecutors saying their action “crossed a line” of acceptable protest.

Johannes Vermeer’s iconic “Girl with a Pearl Earring” has gone back on display at the Mauritshuis museum, a day after climate activists targeted the 17th-century masterpiece.

Climate activists have targeted Johannes Vermeer’s masterpiece “Girl with a Pearl Earring” with glue and liquid but one of the world’s most iconic paintings was not damaged in the latest of such publicity-seeking stunts.

The Amsterdam Rijksmuseum will unite two iconic paintings from Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer early next year — The Girl with a Pearl Earring and The Milkmaid.
