From February, the 17th-century master Johannes Vermeer will be in the spotlight at Royal Delft. Royal Delft joins in with the Rijksmuseum, which is exhibiting the largest overview of Vermeer for the first time in history. Did you know that the owners of De Koninklijke Prceleyne Fles and Johannes Vermeer used to belong to the same St. Lucas Guild? In the coming period, the emphasis at Royal Delft will therefore be on the close link between Royal Delft and Vermeer. For example, our master painter has created beautiful new designs inspired by a number of works by Johannes Vermeer. And you can enjoy a special Vermeer painter’s lunch at Brasserie1653.
The collection focuses in particular on the modern Delft Blue enthusiast. The abstract interplay of lines is a translation of the classic depictions to the present, with the addition of a golden touch on certain items. Within this collection you will find tiles, a tea caddy and a cheese board, among other things. A real eye-catcher is the large wall plate of the Girl with a Pearl Earring.
The showpiece of the Vermeer Collectibles is the Limited Edition Proud Mary Girl with the Pearl Earring. This iconic item is handmade in the studio in Delft. Then the master painter of Royal Delft applied a beautiful painting of the Girl with a Pearl Earring.

In addition to being the city of Delft Blue, Delft is also the city of the world-famous painter Johannes Vermeer. In addition to his birth, the master painter grew up here and Vermeer painted his famous paintings there. His personal life also took place in Delft. We highlight a number of important places in Delft and tell you how they are connected to Vermeer.
