An intensive, two-week study is being done on the Girl with the Pearl Earring, one of Vermeer’s most famous paintings. Using a host of exploratory new technology, the Mauritshuis Royal Picture Gallery hopes to answer many questions about the painting’s creation. For instance, they are investigating what minerals went into the painting’s pigments.

It has been more than 20 years since the painting was scientifically examined. As you can imagine, science has progressed a lot since 1994, and the tools that are being used today are much less invasive.

Drenched in Moonlight

The ocean of clouds disperses; after the snowfall it begins to clear. The myriad valleys, in silent chill, remain frozen and muted. Only the plum trees in the moonlight on Mount Gu Branch out at will, unconcerned with the passage of time.
