The Mysterious Headwear of the Sphinx, uncovering the Secrets of His Exotic Hats: His daughter Elisabeth Ver Meer's memoirs
Elisabeth Vermeer takes you on a captivating journey through the exquisite paintings of her father, Johannes Vermeer, and reveals the stories behind them.

From the stairs to the day book.

My connexions with Johannes Vermeer and his daughter Elisabeth.

Travel with me to my grandparents' house in The Hague, where as a child I always was fascinated by three beautiful reproductions of Johannes Vermeer's works adorning their staircase.
View of Delft, The Milkmaid and Girl with the Pearl Earring were like old friends who greeted me every time I walked up or down.
It seemed these paintings told me a story about my grandfather's Delft heritage, and they were an endless source of inspiration and admiration. When I had the opportunity to visit the magnificent Vermeer exhibition at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam in February 2023, it felt like a joyous reunion. The paintings were
hanging there in a perfect timeline, a timeline that unveiled to me all of Vermeer's secrets, including the m
ystery of the Girl with the Red Hat.

I invite you to read and view the results right here.

With great pleasure,
