It was painted by Johannes Vermeer in 1665
Johannes (Jan) Vermeer (1632-1675) is a Dutchman best known for his paintings, of which only 35 or 36 are known to exist. For an artist with such modest output in such a short career, it is phenomenal how many subsequent artists he influenced; these include Gustave Courbet, van Gogh, Seurat, Edward Hopper, Salvador Dali and even Damien Hirst.
The painting Girl with a Pearl Earring (Dutch: Het Meisje met de Parel) is one of Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer's masterworks.Click link below to see it together with pictures from the movie of the same name!
There is limited historical information regarding Johannes Vermeer’s personal life, including whether he had any pets. Most records focus on his art and family life, with little mention of animals. However, pets were common in households during Vermeer’s time, so it's possible he may have had one, but no definitive evidence exists to confirm this.
There is not just one. Some among the most famous artists from different periods - Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) - Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) - Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) - Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) - Jan van Eyck (1390-1441) - Karel Appel (1921-2006)

Johannes Vermeer is believed to have sold only about 34 paintings during his lifetime, and only a few of these are documented. Despite his limited commercial success while he was alive, Vermeer’s work gained significant recognition posthumously, leading to a re-evaluation of his art and a substantial increase in value. Today, he is celebrated as one of the masters of Dutch painting.
