Description
“Rosemond has a great talent for bringing the reader back to the past. Very few writers can do it so convincingly.”
“The Girl with the Milk Jug” is a historical novel about Jan Vermeer—Vermeer of Delft, one of the greatest painters of his time.
Like Tracy Chevalier’s novel “Girl with a Pearl Earring,” it tells the story of how the painting “The Girl with the Milk Jug” was created, but the main intrigue revolves around the painting “The Procuress.”
Matthias Rosemond immerses us in the atmosphere of 17th-century Holland, depicting everyday scenes and life in Delft at that time: religious contradictions, the stories of two families connected to Jan Vermeer and his wife Catharina, the story of love, and the investigation by the maid Tanneke—whose portrait in a blue apron we see in “The Girl with the Milk Jug.”
You’ll definitely want to see these paintings.
The exhibition featuring Jan Vermeer’s works at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam became the most popular exhibition in the world in 2023. As part of the exhibition, a record number of works by the master were presented—28 out of 37 recognized paintings that have survived to our day. The exhibition was visited by 650,000 people.
