Vermeer 2.0 the Milkmaid With the Pearl Earring

This artwork is called 'Vermeer 2.0 The milkmaid with the pearl earring' and contains about 2.000 bricks.

It's a 2-in-1 pixel artwork, build with slopes. So from one side you will face 'The milkmaid' and from the other side you will face 'The girl with the pearl earring'.

 

As I'm fascinated by LEGO pixel art, after building several LEGO pixel arts for family and friends I decided to try something new.

This artwork would face nicely at walls where people are passing by, so then they see the effect of changing the artwork from one painting to another painting.

 

Origin:

'The Girl With A Pearl Earring' is an oil painting by Dutch Golden Age painter Johannes Vermeer, dated c. 1665. Going by various names over the centuries, it became known by its present title towards the end of the 20th century after the earring worn by the girl portrayed there.

 

'The Milkmaid', sometimes called The Kitchen Maid, is an oil-on-canvas painting of a "milkmaid", in fact, a domestic kitchen maid, by the Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer. The exact year of the painting's completion is unknown, with estimates varying by source, it was painted in about 1658–1661.

 

There are many reasons why a LEGO set based on Johannes Vermeer 'The Girl With A Pearl Earring' and 'The Milkmaid' would be a great idea.

The artwork gives an interactive effect with 2 paintings in 1 when walking by. It's a nice eye-catcher anywhere. Wheter you love to play with LEGO bricks or do love art, or even better you love both. This artwork set has to be a hit.
