I'm incredibly excited for this upcoming show at The Metropolitan Museum of Art- they're receiving Vermeer's The Milkmaid from Amsterdam where it has been at the Rijksmuseum.
This will be the first time the painting has traveled to the USA since the 1939 World's Fair. It will be exhibited among five other Vermeers and work by other admired Delft artists such as Pieter de Hooch, Gabriël Metsu, Nicolaes Maes, Emanuel de Witte, Hendrick van Vliet, and Hendrick Sorgh.
The exhibition will open on September 10 and will be up until November 29, 2009. After such quiet weeks in the art world (as is usually in the month of August), I have something to look forward to - I absolutely adore Vermeer's use of light - who doesn't?
