🎨 "Girl with a Pearl Earring" by Johannes Vermeer
The artist painted "Girl with a Pearl Earring" around 1665 during the Dutch Golden Age.
Often called the "Mona Lisa of the North," this iconic 17th-century painting by Johannes Vermeer features a young girl wearing a blue and gold turban and a striking pearl earring. Her mysterious expression and the soft, glowing light make the portrait feel lifelike and intimate. Unlike traditional portraits, this painting is a tronie — a study of a character rather than a specific person.
