The last artist featured in Art of the Low Countries last night was Vermeer. The last painting featured on the program was Girl with a Pearl Earring.
Vermeer died penniless and was buried in an unmarked grave.
A headline on 680 news just reported a disputed painting has been authenticated by Christie's and is expected to earn $13million in an upcoming auction.
How about that?

"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

I think Van Gogh sold one painting during his lifetime that wasn't to his loyal brother Theo.
