Vermeer and the Masters of Genre Painting
Vermeer et les maîtres de la peinture de genre
Twelve Vermeers placed in dialogue with their genre-painting rivals, including the Met's Allegory of the Catholic Faith and the Rijksmuseum's Milkmaid, both shown only at the Paris leg. The Leiden Collection's privately owned Young Woman Seated at a Virginal hung as catalogue no. 18 at the Paris leg. Curated by Blaise Ducos, Adriaan E. Waiboer, and Arthur K. Wheelock Jr.
