VERMEER. The golden century of Dutch art.

Rome had been waiting a long time for an artistic event of this importance: an exhibit dedicated to Johannes Vermeer, the great Dutch painter of the 17th century whose art is not represented in any Italian collections. Aside from famous and enchanting Vermeer masterpieces such as The Little Street (in Amsterdam at the moment), this exhibit will also feature works by Carel Fabritius, Pieter de Hooch and Emmanuel de Witte along with works by artists who were well-known in their day who perhaps are no longer remembered such as Gerard ter Borch, Gerrit Dou, Nicolaes Maes, Gabriël Metsu, Frans van Mieris, Jacob Ochtervelt, Jan Steen and many other sophisticated and outstanding masters. Until now, there has been no exhaustive exposition of that fortunate period in art history due to the extreme difficulties that come with obtaining such rare and precious works. These masterpieces are very fragile and are jealously guarded by a few exclusive museums or sophisticated collectors. Today, the Scuderie del Quirinale is proud to be able to offer its guests such an extraordinary exhibit and a catalogue designed to help them understand and become familiar with Dutch painting and its undisputed and absolute master, Vermeer.
