The girl without a pearl earring

I like the colours and light of Vermeer - I do not completely buy into the symbolism claimed to be in many of the pictures.

very cool, awesome colours and for once a painting I actually know, how little i know about art is shameful

@summerfield Thank you.

@semjaja Thanks Sem - it is good to see you back. Art is great but there is a whole lot of bunkum written and spoken about it. Sometimes it is better to know nothing other than your own values.
