8. SOUNDBITE (English) Taco Dibbits, Rijksmuseum General Director:
“Vermeer has this quality of kind of everything is perfect. Everything falls in place. There's perfect happiness in his scenes, there's tranquility, there's intimacy. Whereas Rembrandt it's completely different. He's kind of living life at the full, and it's about an artist who's searching for the truth and not constructing an ideal world, which Vermeer is. Rembrandt goes for the truth and digging and digging under the surface, depicting people as they are in all their ugliness and beauty, he just wants it all. And with Vermeer, it's minimizing the reaching of simplicity through creating a perfect, ideal world.”

“I think, I mean, looking at what we're doing right now, we're really coming closer to Vermeer than we've ever been. And it's not only thanks to all of these paintings that are here, but also the research that's been done in the last few years with an international team of experts that we really understand more about his life, about his household, about his direct contacts, the people for whom he made these paintings, and what they mean.”
