Vermeer in full glory, seven masterworks in Holland

Culture and History tour in Amsterdam

Tour Price : $100-400 Duration : 1-5 hours Languages: Dutch, English, German Discount: 10% discount already factored in.

 

There are four famous, delectable Vermeer paintings in the Amsterdam Rijksmuseum.

If you want to see three more on that same day or the next day, we traverse Hollands countryside for a train ride to The Hague and perhaps onto Delft, the city where Vermeer lived. Delft is one of the most beautiful preserved of all old Dutch towns and there is no better way to see it than with a personalized tour.

Vermeer had a unique and subtle way of telling a story through visual art. As an art historian and teacher of art, I will help you to look into the many secrets Vermeer's paintings hold, broadening your vision in understanding meanings, themes, perspective, depths and hues. 

With his unique art, Vermeer created his high-definition compositions. Step by step, you begin to note the extraordinary effects throughout his paintings. Magically, each Vermeer has a notable impact on everyone who is willing to upen up the heart and eye, enough to see and encounter it.  Some visitors stand there for ten minutes, being awe-struck.

The Mauritshuis in The Hague holds three Vermeer paintings and many famous contemporaries  of Vermeer.

Please book early by making contact via email, where we can discuss tailored times and prices. We can also discuss how many are in your group and how to accommodate them. Tour prices may vary according to number of hours, starting point and group size. Children are very welcome, by the way. I usually take groups with 2 to 10 persons. Extra cost: train  tram or bus tickets. Museum tickets.
