Tragovima Vermera THE TRACKS OF VERMEER
Vermerova „Devojka sa bisernom minđušom“ izložena je u muzeju Maurichejs u Hagu Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring is on show at the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague
Dok Van Gog kliče bojama, a Rem- brant peva svetlosti, Johanes Vermer šapuće. U njegovom rodnom Delftu, malom gradu između Haga i Roterda- ma, vreme i dalje teče kao na njegovim platnima – sporo, nežno, sa svetlom koje ulazi kroz prozor. U „Vermeer Centru“ Delft može- te videti priču o njegovom životu, kao i savršene reprodukcije svih 37 pozna- tih dela. Iako nije ostavio mnogo sli- ka, svaka je savršeno komponovani dragulj. „Devojka s bisernom minđušom“ danas je u muzeju „Mauritshuis“ u Ha- gu, ali duh Vermera najbolje se ose- ti baš u Delftu – u kaldrmisanim ulica- ma, pored kanala, u tišini koja podseća da umetnost ne mora biti glasna da bi bila večna.
Where Van Gogh shrieked with col- ours and Rembrandt sang with light, Jo- hannes Vermeer whispered. In his small hometown of Delft, situated between The Hague and Rotterdam, time still unfolds as it did on his canvases: languidly, gently, with light that enters through windows. You can learn his life story at the Ver- meer Centrum Delft, but also enjoy per- fect reproductions of all 37 of his famous works. Despite not leaving behind many paintings, each of the ones that he did represents a perfectly composed jewel. His Girl with a Pearl Earring is today on show at the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, but the best place to feel the spir- it of Vermeer is Delft – on its cobbled streets, alongside its canals, and in the silence that reminds us that art doesn’t have to be loud to be eternal.
