- SOLD OUT - Vermeer exhibit at The Rijkmuseum
This week, we're taking you with us to the sold out Rijkmuseum exhibition on Vermeer. In this video, we take you on a journey through the life and work of one of the most celebrated painters in Dutch history, Johannes Vermeer.
Through stunning visual displays and expert commentary, we explore the beautiful collection of Vermeer's paintings, which are some of the most prized possessions in the Rijksmuseum's collection. From his most famous works, such as "Girl with a Pearl Earring" and "The Milkmaid," to lesser-known pieces, see the paintings that made Vermeer such a revered artist.

I'm so glad the website doubled my ticket order so you guys could go. What an experience! His use of the almost fully pulled back curtain to remind the viewer you're privileged to be looking into his magical world. The use of stark contrasts and separation with a kind of 17th century 4k TV detail make for unparalleled art. It was a privilege to have seen this and so much fun to meet you both. I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I did. I agree with Travis, the cityscape was one of my favorites too.
Hi T&T! Thank you for sharing these fabulous paintings with all of us!! You did a great job with filming, especially since the exhibit was crowded. And the music choice was perfect😍❤❤
Envy you - was all sold out for me.... Happy you enjoyed it! It's a one time thing.
Lovely, thank you. Seeing all these priceless paintings also makes me sad; Vermeer never had enough money to support his family; having 15 children of which 11 alive when he died way too young. He, like Rembrandt, died in debt. If they could look down at us now, they’d be amazed!
Hallo, vandaag heb ik een paar van jullie video's gekeken en het is leuk om jullie te horen praten over Nederland en jullie ervaringen.
We went to this exhibit just three weeks ago. We were bummed that we were going to be in Amsterdam and all the tickets were sold out. Our luck was the bellman at our hotel was a Rijksmuseum member. He gave us his passes and we walked right in. Truly once in a lifetime. Vermeer is fantastic, such a master of light
That is absolutely amazing! So glad you enjoyed the exhibit, absolutely once in a lifetime.
My personal favorite would probably be the milk lady, not because of the overall painting but because of how he captured the floating milk.
Thank you for this tour of the Vermeer exhibition. I am one of those who was too late to get a ticket. I've seen many Vermeers over the years, but there were 5 or 6 in this video I have never seen before. Wonderful stuff!!!
It's a really nice exhibit. I'm actually directly related to Johannes Vermeer. In my opinion his attention to detail is phenomenal and something I might have inherited from him. My only contribution to the Rijksmuseum was the privilege to work on the renovations of 2013 as an apprentice and again during some minor adjustments in 2019 as a professional carpenter and restorer. It's incredibly special to me these two generations Vermeer come together in 2023 (even if my contribution was merely in presenting the art) Thanks for sharing this
I'm going to the Netherlands in June (I'm dutch living in the US) and couldn't get tickets. Thank you so much this video! I got at least a little taste of of it! Very professional video and I loved the music!
That was nice. I do have a tip. I don't know if you two have been to the Kröller Müller museum but that's also nice to see.
They have works by Van Gogh, Monet, Seurat, Picasso and Mondrian and a unique sculpture garden! I'm sure you would like it.
How wonderful - I admire his work and use of colour. Lucky guys x
Thank you for sharing your Vermeer tour! I am so glad you were able to get tickets! It must have felt very special!
You should do a video visiting the North-Frisian islands and try some Frisian delicacies like Sukerbole, Oranjekoek, Fryske Droege Woarst, Nagelkaas or drinks like Beerenburg, Bonifatius Bier, Kald Kletske beer etc. You can also try visiting small towns like Dokkum, Sneek or a bigger city like Leeuwarden. Make sure to rent a bike when going to the islands and go on a nice and sunny day.
I'm also jelly 👀
Wat ook leuk om te zien dat jullie hier naar toe zijn geweest. Zelf ben er vandaag, eerste paasdag , naar de Vermeer tentoonstelling in het Rijksmuseum geweest en het was extreem druk ! Jullie zijn bofkonten dat het tijdens jullie bezoek aan de tentoonstelling een stuk rustiger was waardoor je meer van deze mooie schilderijen kon genieten.
That was a nice exhibit. No wonder it was sold out. It is nice to look at a painting and fantasize about those times. The simpler life. The downside would be missing your UA-cam channel 😉. ❤❤❤
I think you guys did a really nice job of presenting the paintings you saw to us. Thanks so much. My favourites are 'De geograaf' (geographer) and 'De astronoom' (astronomer).
Nice subject, zondagmorgenconcert in het concertgebouw springs to mind, even if you don’t like classical music you get to see the inside of that building, tickets are usually easy to get. Fourth and fifth of may are always filled with organised activities. Treat yourselves to a museumjaarkaart and walk straight into the van Gogh museum, always gives me a smile.
Beautiful ❤️ thank you guy's
I am one who didn't get tickets. Unpleasantly surprised that the exhibition is sold out 😟
Happy that you got to see the exhibition 😄
I know I am very late to the party... I usually watch your videos but don't comment. (except when scammers are active in your comment section haha!) Or I watch a bunch of them in a row haha.
But have you guys been to Nuenen? It's a little village near Eindhoven (where I live). And Vincent van Gogh has lived there for a few years. And he made some of his famous paintings there, like the potato eaters. You can walk around in the village and see the actual spots where he was standing when painting. And the museum has recently been expanded. The best things of the village, is that it's free, and always open because it's an actual village where people live :)
Super cool! I would love to see them all. My favorite is View of Delft. I’ve seen it in the Mauritshuis and have been sitting on a bench in front of it admiring the colours and incredible details. It was like stepping back into the 17th century.
Actually now in the Hermitage aan de Amstel there is an exhibition on Rembrandt and his contemporates
For those who like Satie, I can recommend the recordings of Anne Queffelec. A French pianiste who manages to really make that canary feel the toothache. By far my favorite performer of Satie.
It seems that several paintings were made in the same room. With just a different angle of view. Just notice the window and the tiled floor. I went to a concert at the Maritime Museum in Amsterdam. That was also a one-off and sold out. Greetings from Spakenburg, the Netherlands Gerben T and Gabriëlle.
Yes, I saw the exhibition, so very impressive, ❤👍👍❤️
I am so jealous of you. I wanted to go with my son but I can't get tickets. I am a big Vermeer fan and that so many paintings can be seen in one exhibition is unique. Very disappointing. Nice video.
And now, every time you visit Delft, you can think about this. It all happened here and you can see the actual buildings!
The lucky ones ☺️ Have you visited The Rijksmuseum before to see the Rembrandts and the paintings of Jan Steen etc. ?
Vermeer seems to have placed his subjects in front of the same window. Or am I wrong. Where are the other Vermeers? Private collections or lost? Anyway, I’ve had my annual culture fix. Thank you.
You might be interested isn a documentary called 'Tim's Vermeer'. By Penn Jillette and Farley Ziegler, the subject is the possibility Vermeer used optical instruments to paint.

Both: lost and collections that would (or could not due to condition) lend them out
Oh, did I say I loved the exhibition? Well, needless …. I’m still very intrigued by the subjects he chose, the hints of extra meaning, the whole iconography. I mean, what does it all mean? I went to the exhibition on his work at the Mauritsmuseum in 1997. The catalogue went deeper into the meaning of certain details as I remember but I lost the catalogue of that exhibition. So, more study needs to be done. Time though …. I have none.
A question for you: you like Jheronimus Bosch as well?
Oh yes, very much. The Garden of Earthly Delights is on our bucket list to see!
@@TAndTGoDutch you wouldn't have to travel far to meet the painter himself. In 's - hertogenbosch (in Brabant), there is Het huis van Bosch. It is the house he lived in since he was 12 years old in 1462. It is assumed that he painted most of his paintings in this house. It is a museum since 1 april 2022. I am a volunteer there and we get a lot of very great reactions from the people who visit the museum. The great part about it is that it really is a medieval house. There is even a staircase that Jheromus Bosch' father built when the family moved in. So you are able to walk into his footsteps. It's worth a visit. And we will be happy to see you and tell you all about it!
Oh my goodness, that would be lovely!
@@TAndTGoDutch Be happy to greet you in our city. And would be glad to take you 2 around our beautiful city myself to show you around. Maybe it would be nice for you to visit the south of the Netherlands as well.
Bofkonten, zo kaarten kunnen scoren.
