'Heer van stand die zijn handen wast'
Johannes Vermeer
In 2023 almost all works by Johannes Vermeer came to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam for the largest Vermeer exhibition ever. However, 6 of his paintings have disappeared in time.
The TV program "De Nieuwe Vermeer" asked creatives and professional artists from all over the Netherlands to bring these vanished works to life.
So i'll joint the program and watch this entertaining video "how i made my version' in fool effect.
My painting made it to the finals of the program and was even 20 seconds on the national television! yeah haha..
6 paintings
Johannes Vermeer is one of the most famous artists in the Netherlands. His paintings hang in leading museums around the world. 6 paintings by Vermeer have disappeared, been lost, stolen or perished over the years. They are only described in a few sentences on old auction lists. Each episode focuses on one of these lost works. Two groups of artists participate in the program: the free category and selected master painters. Each week a winner is chosen from both.
Free category
The free category is the largest group and consists of self-registered creatives and professional artists. They make a personal interpretation of a lost work. From glass, wool and photos to building blocks; everything passes.
