I always wanted to paint one of the old masterpieces to see if I could recreate it's beauty. I chose one by Vermeer called "Girl in the Turban" from the 17th Century. It was sold in 1882 and that collector donated it to the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, Netherlands. It is amazing to see my painting come to life.
Vermeer was born in Delft in 1632 and died in 1675 at age 43. It took 200 years for his paintings to be recognized as ranking among the great masterpieces.
