    If I leave a comment here will it show up only on this pic, or on the entire entry? You may delete… I was just curious; and my cat’s dead. Yay! I hate cats.

    This is Jacob Vermeer, or was it Jan Vermeer? I never remember. Anyways, great painter, and the movie The girl with the pearl earring is also worth seeing. :) I even stayed at what is supposed to be the house he lived in while I was in Delft. Great place, great painter.

    That’s the “Girl with the Pearl Necklace” drawing, right? I wonder if that artist (John Vermeer?) got the idea for this drawing from that ZZ Top song? Too bad he dressed her in bedsheets. ZZ did it with bikini girls… John should have done this Pearl Necklace girl in one too, forget the bedsheets!

    My English is not really good I living in Holland. But what I hate here is that not anybody knows that his name was Johannes Vermeer. And this painting name is ‘’Vrouw in balans'’ or ‘’goudweegster'’ or ‘’Vrouw met weegschaal'’! So thats all!

  19. A girl from the Netherlands says:

    You are all wrong, I’m following a study in art, and in my studiebook is standing that this painting is made by Johannes Vermeer (most of you knew that)…But the title of this painting is not the ‘goudweegster’, or ‘the girl with the pearl necklace)..It’s called ‘De muziekles’, and in English that’s ‘The musiclesson’…This paint is made between 1662-1664…Well I said what I wanted to say, hope I helped all of you!

  20. A girl from the Netherlands says:

    Hoi Stefanie,

    Ik las net even je berichtje…Ik kan denk ik wel je vraag beantwoorden :)
    Dit schilderij is inderdaad symbolisch, hieronder typ ik even mij informatie uit!

    In De Muziekles van Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) krijgt een meisje klavecimbelles van haar leraar. Vermeer maakt er een bijna pikant tafereel van: de liggende viola da gamba, een soort cello, staat voor hoogstaande harmonie in de liefde, de witte kan beschermd de maagdelijkheid van het meisje, maar eenmaal gevuld met wijn, zal dat van korte duur zijn.

    Dit schilderij komt overigens uit de Gouden Eeuw, en in die tijd leerden professionele musici de burgers muziekinsturmenten te bespelen. De burgers kregen muziekonderricht op een stedelijke muziekschool, een collegium musicum of van een prive-leraar. De meest bestudeerde instrumenten zijn: het klavecimbel, dat vooral door meisjes wordt bespeeld, het orgel en de luit. Het kunnen musiceren hoort bij een gegoede burgelijke opvoeding. Dus dit schilderij is gelijk ook een historiestuk…

    Ik hoop dat ik je nu wat verder heb geholpen..

    I noticed that the women are a bit plump during these eras.

  23. Another Girl From Netherlands says:

    Hee..! Ik wil graag weten bij ‘Het meisje met de parel,’ welke materialen zijn gebruikt! Dat moet ik weten voor mijn werkstuk. Dus wie het weet..

  25. geschiedenisstudent says:

    Hello,

    We saw in class that this painting is called “de liefdesbrief” (love letter) and not “muziekles” (music lesson). Which one is it? I’m confused

  26. ss says:

    does somebody knows when Vermeer this art made
    (De schilderkunst)

  27. Catherina says:

    If you type “kantwerkster” in into google this painting shows up about a thousand times so I dont really get how everybody’s saying it has about a thousand names…which one is it?:S

  28. YES says:

    nr. 9 is called the `lezende vrouw in het blauw´ ( women in blue who´s reading a letter)

  29. michael says:

    great plugin. it’s a pity that there’s no “next”-button to view all images “in a row” without having to go back to the menu after every picture…

  30. Me says:

    The real name of this painting is
    “de kantwerkster”

  31. Me says:

    You can see that she’s a lace-worker
