We're extremely proud to introduce the Girl with a Pearl Earring skate art edition in collaboration with The Hague's Mauritshuis museum, home of a formidable collection of Dutch and Flemish paintings from the 17th century.
Our collaboration
Johannes Vermeer is one of the most famous Dutch painters of the 17th century. He is famous for his intimate household scenes with amazing light. In other paintings by Vermeer, such as the famous Girl with a Pearl Earring and View of Delft, he managed to create a calm, almost timeless atmosphere.
Vermeer always spent a long time on every painting, so he did not complete many pictures. We know of only 36 paintings by him. Vermeer was also an art dealer and valuer. Three of his paintings are displayed in the Mauritshuis, including the Girl With a Pearl Earring.
