A work of art



Hello, everyone! I'm Ryo Kikuchi.




Today, I want to introduce my favorite work of art. This picture is "Het meisje met de parel" painted by Johannes Vermeer. I like this picture very much.

This picture was painted in 1665. We don't know who this girl is, but she is usually thought of as Maria whose father is Vermeer. Her face seems very mysterious. So, this picture is called " The northern Mona Lisa". I like his brushwork very much. His pictures is like a photograph. They are enchantingly beautiful and wonderful.

Johannes Vermeer is a great painter. If you are interested in his pictures, please see them. You will be absorbed in them.
