Vermeer and the Delft School

Fifteen Vermeers placed alongside their Delft milieu in New York, eighty-five paintings, thirty-five drawings, and decorative arts in all. Curated by Walter Liedtke with Axel Rüger and Michiel Plomp, with a 626-page Yale University Press catalogue. The catalogue listed sixteen Vermeer entries (cat. nos. 64–79); cat. 66, Dresden's The Procuress, travelled only to the London leg. The privately owned Young Woman Seated at a Virginal was lent by Baron Frédéric Rolin, who had owned it since 1960. Sponsored by BP.
