Girl with a blog

Hi, I’m Abbie Vandivere, a paintings conservator at the Mauritshuis, and the head researcher of the Girl in the Spotlight project. On this page I have been blogging and posting photos daily to update you on the technical examination of the Girl with a Pearl Earring.

Golden Room Reconstruction

The most beautiful space in the Mauritshuis is the Golden Hall. After the fire of 1704, this reception room was decorated in the then prevailing Louis XIV style. It became an impressive whole with a lot of curling, gilding and beautiful wall and ceiling paintings by the Venetian artist Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini.

Jan Steen Research

From 2012 to 2018, the Mauritshuis and Shell, as Partners in Science, jointly researched paintings from the Mauritshuis collection.
