Vermeer Studio found

The original studio of 17th-century Dutch master Johannes Vermeer has been found in Delft. Interest in Vermeer by the general public has soared since the successful movie "Girl with A Pearl Earring" was released - which fictionalised the situation that inspired the painting.
Daan Hartmann, a famous art restorer and expert on authenticating Vermeer found the studio. He had been working in it himself for last 20 years until he finally made the Vermeer connection. The studio, once hidden in an overgrown garden, is likely to become a major Dutch tourist attraction.
