Audio Experience
The girl with the pearl earring embodies a mysterious atmosphere, which is why we open with a series of minor chords. They invoke a sense of curiosity, and mark the backdrop of the painting. As the theme develops, we transition into a brighter major chord progression. The presence of a a bright, gentle personalty inside: Purity, innocence.. Who is she?
In collaboration with the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, where Vermeer’s famous painting Girl with a Pearl Earring is on display, we are proud to present #mygirlwithapearl – The Immersive Edition.
The melody tells a tale of mystery, conversation but also emotion. The light notes are a recognisable leitmotiv which translates to the different variations of the theme. Dancing in the setting, they reflect the pearl as the center piece of the composition. Catchy, shining, rare. Full of stories and memories that we might never know of.
This new exhibition reimagines the timeless beauty of the 17th century masterpiece for the present day. From Vermeer to Van Gogh, Dutch Masters, this experience offers a fresh and original take on an iconic work of art.
