Girl with the pearl earring.
The famous portrait by Vermeer has been cleaned.
The Danish conservator that carried out the removal of the old varnish told a curious thing about it.
He was surprised to discover that the old varnish contained black pigment. It was actually a dark glaze intentionally applied to make the painting look old.
The former varnish was carried out in the fifties and has now been removed and re varnished. The painting called "The girl with the pearl earring" is now as brilliant in color as it was intended.
