Close to Vermeer / Dicht bij Vermeer

His small oeuvre is pretty much all Johannes Vermeer, painter of iconic images and international favorites like The Girl with a Pearl Earring has left behind. Close to Vermeer follows Gregor Weber, curator at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, working on his last big dream before his retirement: setting up the largest Vermeer exhibition ever. Weber joins a number of Vermeer experts using the latest techniques in search of what makes a Vermeer truly Vermeer. New discoveries and passionate opinions are still capable of rousing the emotions.
