I like to check out Google Doodles. It can be very illuminating & interesting. So, when I saw that today’s Doodle was for ‘Vermeer‘, & artist that I am quite partial to, I immediately pulled up the Wikipedia to see why today was chosen. I was baffled. So, I had to go to the source.
Wow. Anniversary of a U.S. exhibition! That is bit of a stretch but we, of course, have to buy it. It would appear Google really wanted to honor Vermeer, & that is fair & just, & wanted to find a day that they could slip it in. That his birth date & day of death are uncertain gives this bit more credence.
It is definitely a good excuse to indulge in admiring his immense talent & grace.
