Streetvibes - The little street of Johannes Vermeer in Polaroid The little street of Johannes Vermeer, perhaps as well known as Girl with a Pearl Earring and The Milkmaid. Although Johannes Vermeer made very few paintings in his unfortunately short life, his paintings are impossible to imagine our Dutch art history without. In this modern variation the little street of Johannes Vermeer, this painting is incorporated into a Polaroid with the text 'Streetvibes' underneath. In dark grey, texts and scribbles have been added as if in a brainstorm, giving the work a contemporary feel. Texts and tree silhouettes softly shimmer through the painting, together with a paint texture. This gives Het Straatje a bit more of a grunge effect and fits more with the text Streetvibes.
