I was able to see Vermeer's The Milkmaid this weekend, along with a million other people, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was, of course, stunning and so vibrant. Most people commented that it looked like a photograph instead of a painting. See for yourself before November 29th when it goes back to Amsterdam.

Beautiful! I wish I could see it. But I'm actually closer to Amsterdam, so maybe I should wait...
