My Girl
March 2, 2023
Vermeer’s Girl with a pearl earring is on loan to another museum, but the Mauritshuis, where the painting usually resides did not slap up a sign saying it was on loan. Instead they sponsored an event called “My girl with a pearl earring,” inviting everyone to contribute a facsimile of the painting to stand in for the original. It’s pretty clever.
There are many others. I learned about the show at This is Colossal
There are many more images at Mauritshuis
Gunsmoke and Knitting 
That’s fantastic. Have you seen photos of the restoration of a cupid in the painting “Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window”? There are some great videos about the process.
