A modern version of Johannes Vermeer's portrait of the Girl with the Pearl Earring on a background of Delft blue tiles in bright colours of red, pink and orange.
The link between the tiles and the portrait is that both were made in Delft, and coincidentally in the exact same period. Hence the delft blue tiles as the background. The silver letters form the word Pearl. On the one hand because of the pearl in the painting, of course, and on the other because a poll not so long ago showed that this was considered the most beautiful painting ever made in the Netherlands. The original painting (an acrylic-painted portrait on a printed background on canvas) is available directly from the artist in sizes 1.00 x 1.00 m and 1.30 x 1.30 m. The other print forms and all possible sizes can be ordered via this site.
Annejole Jacobs - de Jongh has been making modern mixed-media portraits for private individuals and companies or as free work since 2003. Using all kinds of digital images, photos and texts she makes designs and in a mix of print and painting she then puts the portraits on canvas. The backgrounds of the paintings are often composed of several layers of digital images, texts and scanned originals originating from art, history, music, literature or contemporary times. She also makes colourful pop art paintings with solid backgrounds from Vespas, Fiat's 500, VW vans and Piaggio's, among others.
With her paintings Jole exhibits in galleries, museums and at art fairs. Her paintings now hang at home and abroad and with Maxima's painting she won the first prize in a national competition in 2009 and exhibited at the CODA-Museum.
In 2019 Annejole participated in the TV programme 'Sterren op het doek’ in which she made the winning portrait of Matthijs van Nieuwkerk.
