During this perid, artists fund inspiratin in Nrthern Renaissance painting techniques, cntributing t masterpieces like Girl with a Pearl Earring by Jhannes Vermeer. Knwn as the “Mna Lisa f the Nrth”,this painting represents the best f Dutch art and it has becme ne f art histry’s mst belved paintings.
Dutch artist Jhannes Vermeer is famus fr his paintings f cntemprary Delft, a city in Hlland where the artist was brn, lived and died. Girl with a Pearl Earring is Vermeer’s mst well-knwn wrk f art.
