During the meticulous restoration of Woman in Blue Reading a Letter (1663-64), one of the Rijksmuseum’s four Vermeer masterpieces, a number of surprising details were uncovered. Vermeer’s characteristically intense use of blue, for example, can now be viewed in all of its magnificent nuances for the first time in centuries. In addition, several pearls that were added in 1928 were removed, and other details that had disappeared were restored.
This masterpiece has undergone all kinds of treatments over the centuries that left their mark on the painting. Under the supervision of an international committee of experts, Rijksmuseum restorer Ige Verslype has restored the painting to its original condition wherever possible. Woman in Blue Reading a Letter will be on display in a special exhibition in the Rijksmuseum.
Ige Verslype: “The greatest surprise was when we discovered how Vermeer produced such an intense blue colour. We now know that he used a copper-green undercoat to give the colour extra depth. Once the yellowed glaze had been removed, this magnificent blue came back into view in all of its glorious nuances.”

I'm a goccoing fool today. I printed these "customizable" cards. You fill in the bubbles to create a greeting specific to the occasion and person you're sending to. Impersonal? Naw. There are slots to add your own words and drawings.

An example of street art in Croydon, brightening up otherwise dull surfaces and discouraging awful graffiti merchants.

Quite a big throwback, back to september 2014 and probably one of the best exhibitions I've seen in Warsaw - BMW Art Car Collection in Ujazdowski Castle.
Sometimes it's a good thing to look through photo archives :)
