Show Notes
Johannes Vermeer is best known today for painting The Girl with the Pearl Earring. Part of the allure of this painting is the pose, she seems a little caught off guard looking over her shoulder at the viewer. Or maybe she is turning away from the viewer. The pose has a little bit of ambiguity and the painting is rendered so beautifully that many refer to The Girl with the Pearl Earring as the Mona Lisa of the North.
