'The Vermeer Phenomenon'

October 18 2017

Video: NGA

Here's an interesting lecture from Arthur K Wheelock Jnr of the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC about the NGA's momentous Vermeer exhibition in 1995 - how the show came about, how it was put together, and how it changed public perceptions of Vermeer. The lecture was given in 2015, but has just now been put on the NGA's You Tube page, probably in connection with the opening of a new Vermeer exhibition there, Vermeer and the Masters of Genre Painting (till Jan 21 2108).
