The Milkmaid (c. 1658) by Johannes Vermeer"What does Art do for us? It gives shape to our emotions, makes them visible and, in so doing, places a seal of eternity upon them, a seal representing all those works that, by means of a particular form, have incarnated the universal nature of human emotions."
~Muriel Barbery in The Elegance of the Hedgehog

I think I recognize this room. Is this by the same painter that did "The girl with the pearl earring?"
Just catching up after a long blog hopping hiatus :)
Yes, same artist. Nice to 'see you' here, friend. :)
