On Saturday afternoon, I went to the "Vermeer Hikari Kingdom Exhibition 2015" held in Nihonbashi Muromachi. In this exhibition, you can see the works of Johannes Vermeer (J. Vermeer: 1632-1675), a popular 17th-century Dutch painter in Japan, but I would like to take a closer look at Vermeer's works that I saw at the State Museum of Amsterdam during my previous trip to the Netherlands.
[Mauritz Highs Museum]
This exhibition was planned in 2012 by Shinichi Fukuoka, a professor at Aoyama Gakuin University (molecular biology) who has also seen Vermeer's originals around the world, and then returned to Japan (Nagoya, Matsuyama, Hiroshima, Nagano, etc.) at 6-chome Ginza from January to July 2012, and then went back to 2 post 0.7 0.7 0 in 1 years.
[Painting Art]
This exhibition is not a moving exhibition of Vermeer's original painting to Japan, but an appreciation of "Re Create Works". According to the commentary on the exhibition, "Re Create" is a digital analysis of the original image data provided by the "Vermeer Center" in Delft, the Netherlands, where Vermeer's hometown, and is reproduced using digital printing technology. Unlike photo reproductions, it is a special canvas with state-of-the-art digital printing, so in some cases, it is possible to faithfully reproduce the colors and textures of the time that Vermeer drew at the time, rather than the originals in museums in Hague and Amsterdam. While being fooled by "Re Create", you can see all 37 Vermeer's works at once at the exhibition in Nihonbashi Muromachi.

Even though I am a Vermeer fan, I have met directly with some works in museums in Den Hague, Amsterdam, London, Washington, and New York in the past, but in fact, I would like to see all things like Mr. Fukuoka and Mr. Yuriko Kuchiki, the author of the All-Pointed Journey of Vermeer (Shueisha Shinsho) in Paris, the Netherlands, and elsewhere.

In addition, Vermeer's works are owned by individuals and are not open to the public, and some of them have been stolen from museums in Boston and are still unknown, but can be seen all at this exhibition.
In addition, since it is currently displayed in separate museums, the commonality of the model of painting that can be seen by comparing and comparing paintings of the same theme at the same time, and the supporting role of people I enjoyed a luxurious appreciation opportunity, such as new discoveries about props such as world maps and musical instruments used as After the exhibition, you can receive discounts and other services by presenting an admission ticket for the exhibition at nearby COREDO (Muromachi 1-3, Nihonbashi) and Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower restaurants. I was hungry after the exhibition, so I had dinner at COREDO Muromachi 2 shop, but I hope we can report that story to you separately.
