Vermeer Painting Locations
based on 0 votes
There are 30 some-odd Vermeer paintings in existence. I'd like to see them all in person eventually.
One known painting was stolen! "The Concert" was taken in 1990 from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston.
* Means I have been there and viewed the pieces, otherwise they are places I hope to visit someday.
