The article carries a lot of comment on Johannes Vermeer’s painting “Girl with a Pearl Earring” ans how she has captivated viewers for years with her exotic headdress, pictorial elegance and penetrating eyes.
Giving appraisal of the situation it's necessary to point out that it is finally accessible to an American audience with her first North American stop at San Francisco’s de Young Museum.
In addition the author of the article mentions that the exhibit, “Girl with a Pearl Earring: Dutch Paintings from the Mauritshuis,” is a carefully selected group of 17th century Dutch paintings originally from the Netherlands’s Royal Picture Gallery Mauritshuis, which is currently undergoing a major renovation.
Analyzing the situation it's necessary to emphasize that known as the “Dutch Mona Lisa,” “Girl with a Pearl Earring” has seen much popularity in the last couple decades , moreover the author Tracy Chevalier based her 1999 novel “Girl with a Pearl Earring” on the famous Vermeer portrait, while a movie of the same title starring Scarlett Johansson was released in 2003.
In this connection it’s worthwhile mentioning that “Girl with a Pearl Earring” is certainly a good reason to make a trip to the de Young Museum in the coming weeks, other pieces should not be missed , furthermore an impressive collection of Rembrandt van Rijn’s portraits, sketches and etchings can be viewed in “Rembrandt’s Century,” a display that one can gain entry to with a ticket for the “Girl with a Pearl Earring” exhibition.
Speaking of this situation it is also interesting to note that the author Vermeer’s portrait traveled across the Atlantic with a stylish group of paintings , among them are :  Pieter Claesz’s “Still Life with a Lighted Candle” and Jacques Linard’s “Still Life of Exotic Shells,” along with a series of Jacob van Ruisdael’s portraits of the natural world and William Heda’s vanitas paintings.

With the beautiful refurbishing she will certainly draw crowds this spring. She will transport us to a world of yore — where beauty lay in invisible brushstrokes and piercing eyes.
As for me , I think that art challenge us to think about sublime and it satisfies our aesthetic need.It just fills me with awe looking at some people's skills.On the other hand art i all around us.Great art is necessarily contained to art museums and galleries.
