Description
Amsterdam's famous Rijksmuseum announces it is putting together the largest collection of Vermeer paintings ever to be exhibited next year, as it reveals some new discoveries on one of the Dutch master's most famous works, the 1660 painting "The Milkmaid", which is part of the museum's own collection, currently on display. Researchers say that they have found a hidden jug holder and basket which he later painted over. "That's one of the things that Vermeer then thought this will make a composition that is too hectic, I'm going to paint it over," Rijksmuseum Director Taco Dibbits says. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
