The Monalisa of the north Johannes Vermeer Amsterdam Rijksmuseum exhibition (1632 - 1675 )

They are very rare and valuable oil paintings there are 28 out of 37 in the world! and they were exhibited at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam which I attended on Sat 12th March 2023. 


Vermeer portrays realism, showing his famous lady with pearl earrings which was later made into a movie.  

My personal favorite was the painting with Eve and the serpent because it told an interesting story within a single image. 


Eve and the serpent from the bible where Eve eats the poisoned apple and then killed the serpent with a brick. 


I learned more in-depth about art and its history and had the unique experience once in a lifetime work. The design and positions of the art as well as the in-depth stories told within one image. It was well attended with a lot there. 


I went to see the Vangou exhibiting as well went I was in Amsterdam, which was not as interesting as you can see Vangou anywhere, and the Vermeer was a once in a life time experience for me.
