n Chasing the girls of Vermeer, journalist and art critic Marc Couwenbergh reports on his pilgrimage along 21 of Johannes Vermeer’s women. Women who have a special charm. For five years he traveled and visited seven museums in six countries to see Johannes Vermeer’s paintings in which women play the leading role. It is unique that women dominate the oeuvre of a master painter from the Dutch seventeenth century.

Although we know relatively little about Johannes and Vermeer and his painting, Vermeer’s Girls Chase familiarizes you with the life and work of Johannes Vermeer. It started with an unexpected meeting with The Lacemaker in the Louvre, Paris. The pilgrimage ends with Johannes Vermeer’s magnum opus Painting in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. In this last painting we meet Vermeer’s muse of painting. IN DUTCH!
