At that time I made a pact with myself to view with my own eyes all the Vermeers in existence; and as of now there only remain 8 that I haven't seen (one in particular is a lost cause, stolen in Ireland and, I believe, never recovered.)


Did you get to see the one in the Gardner Museum in Boston before it
was stolen?

Yes. It wasn't the greatest of Vermeers; but at least I managed to see it before it disappeared. Of course, at that time I also saw the stolen Rembrandt seascape, which is an amazing painting, very different for that artist.


So the Gardner paintings have never been recovered?
