Vermeer’s most exquisitely detailed tronie, Girl with the Red Hat, c.1665-1667, is an exhibition highlight. Ticketed, admission from €5.
This exhibition is a collaboration between the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp and the National Gallery of Ireland.
Curators: Dr Lizzie Marx, Curator of Dutch and Flemish Art and Dr Brendan Rooney, Head Curator.
