Yesterday, a friend and I went to the members preview of Girl with a Pearl Earring at the High Museum in Atlanta. This painting along with thirty-four other Dutch Paintings from the Mauritshuis are on display from The Royal Picture Gallery Mauritshuis located in The Hague, the Netherlands.
The exhibit also has four of Rembrandt's paintings and a painting titled The Goldfinch by one of his students Carel Fabritius. After Girl with a Pearl Earring this painting by Fabritius was one of my favorites.
It is so amazing to see art work that was created almost four hundred years ago. The detail, design, and colors are mesmerizing to me. I often wonder if these artists had any idea of the impact their work would have, and that centuries later people would still be viewing them with awe.
This is an excellent exhibit and I highly recommend it to all art lovers able to visit it in Atlanta between now and September 29th, 2013.
Happy Creating!
