One of the most anticipated exhibitions of 2017 begins its world tour from Paris. The display Vermeer and the Masters of Genre Painting is about to open at the Musée du Louvre. It comprises 12 paintings by the Delft master which is a third part of the artist's surviving oeuvre. Last time such a landmark retrospective of Johannes Vermeer took place half a century ago.
