We visited The Hague primarily to see Vermeer's paintings at the
Mauritshuis Art Gallery. The gallery itself was a former palace
exhibiting impressive architecture.
We saw a wide range of
paintings by the Dutch Masters including Reubens, Rembrandts, and Van
Dyke. The gallery had three Vermeer paintings out of a total of 34 paintings attributed to the artist.
Throughout the castles of Europe we have been forbidden from
taking interior photographs, it was therefore with some surprise that we
were able to photograph the paintings at the Mauritshuis Art Gallery.
The Hague itself was a busy vibrant city, although somewhat smaller than we had expected for the capital of The Netherlands.
