Vermeer and Music
Lucie Skeaping takes a tour of the National Gallery's new exhibition of paintings by Vermeer and his Dutch 17th-century contemporaries and chooses music to go with it.
The National Gallery's exhibition of paintings by Vermeer and his Dutch 17th-century contemporaries - every one of which depicts musicmaking of one kind or another - opened earlier this week. Lucie Skeaping takes a tour of the exhibition with curator Marjorie E. Wieseman, and chooses music to go with it, including works by Sweelinck, Van Eyck and Johann Schop.
