Last Monday, Google Arts & Culture and the Mauritshuis launched Meet Vermeer, an international online retrospective of Vermeer’s paintings, made in collaboration with 17 cultural partners across Europe and the United States. In addition to high resolution images of 36 paintings, the project includes the Pocket Gallery: a virtual exhibition including all of the Dutch Old Master’s works in a new Google app that uses augmented reality.
Meet Vermeer is available at g.co/meetvermeer and is free to use.
