Rijksmuseum, The Masterpieces and Infocentre, Jan Luijkenstraat 1
Amsterdam
11 March - 1 June 2009
A major work by Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) is temporarily back in Amsterdam.
The Rijksmuseum presents his 'Woman Holding a Balance' (c.1664) from the United States.
The Rijksmuseum proudly presents this important work alongside four other masterpieces by Vermeer from the museum s own collection.
Vermeer did not produce many paintings, so this is a unique moment for the Rijksmuseum as the only museum in Europe to be able to show five works by the renowned artist together.
The painting is on loan from the National Gallery of Art in Washington, from which it rarely leaves.
