# *Un Vermeer a Palazzo Barberini. Donna in blu che legge una lettera*

Jul 8 – Oct 11, 2026 · closed · Sala Ovale and Sala Paesaggi

Vermeer’s Woman in Blue Reading a Letter, painted around 1663–64, on rare loan from the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

No Italian collection owns a Vermeer, and just over thirty of his paintings are known. The show runs from the Sala Ovale to the Sala Paesaggi, where the painting hangs in a space of its own for close looking.

Digital displays cover Vermeer’s methods, the history of the picture, seventeenth-century Delft and the Rijksmuseum’s 2010 restoration, which removed old varnish and brought back the strength of the blues. The curators are Thomas Clement Salomon and Paola Nicita.
