Europe-Ireland-Dublin It is not often I put postcards up here featuring Paintings. But in June I visited a marvellous exhibition at the National Gallery of Ireland It featured works by Vermeer the famous Dutch Painter from 1632-1675. This one is one of the most famous "The Love Letter " circa 1669-70. |
