Of Vermeer’s 35 surviving works, nine have been brought to The Royal Ueno Museum in Tokyo to make this exhibition the largest showing of his work in the country. On loan from the Gemaldegalerie in Berlin, “The Wine Glass” (1661-62), painted when Vermeer was 27, is also being exhibited in Japan for the first time. Other masterpieces from museums in Europe and the U.S. include “The Milkmaid,” “A Lady Writing” and “Woman with a Pearl Necklace.”
