Considered one of the most talented painters in the Dutch Golden Age, Johannes Vermeer shows everyday life in the city of Delft in the Netherlands. Forgotten for centuries after his death in 1675, Vermeer is now highly regarded as one of the greats in painting. Rediscovered in the late 19th century, little is known about Vermeer's life and only a small number of his paintings have been preserved.
Christened the 'Mona Lisa of the North,' by the Dutch art scholar Ludwig Goldschieder, the Girl with a Pearl Earring is universally recognized as one of Johannes Vermeer's absolute masterworks. After its sale in 1902, this picture quickly gained enormous popularity and was reputed to be Vermeer's most beautiful work. Both the Mona Lisa and Girl with a Pearl Earring have elusive qualities and an indecipherable expression. Both paintings are engaging. It appears as if the subject of the painting is not so much the woman we observe, but the relationship which she solicits with the viewer. This may be the reason for the immense popularity of the work.

Customer Reviews
Nice quality picture, but it is a little deceiving on the computer. Quality is not as good as other oil's I have purchased on Overstock and frame is small in thickness.
I love this painting! It's the best one so far. The color and details are remarkable, and the frame is very attractive. I am very pleased with this painting, and received many comments about how pleasant the Girl with a Pearl earring is, and how she seems to be looking right at you. I would recommend this painting to anyone who is interested. Thank you again, Overstock.
I am so very happy with my new painting - Girl with a Pearl Earring. The quality is wonderful. The shipping packaging was well thought out and it arrived quickly after I ordered it. I will buy from Overstock.com again.
Beautiful painting and looks like the the real painting, frame, perfect size too! She looks like she is looking right at you and the colors are vibrant. Thanks Overstock for another great item!!
The frame is beautiful and the portrait a perfect size - but my canvas wasn't stretched completely taught - leaving a wave in the middle of the painting. The girl's face turned out looking yellow-green and you see the original painting's cracked paint in this print - something I think they should have disclosed in the description - although I understand why it looks that way. I returned it within a week - I just couldn't justify keeping it, aside from the great price, for its flaws.
