Art historians have known about the Cupid's existence since an X-ray analysis in 1979, of Johannes Vermeer’s ‘Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window.’ The recently restored painting has become the centerpiece of a new exhibition, Fall, 2021, at the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden that reveals the cupid painting on the back wall, posthumously overpainted by an unknown hand. The visual lecture by Professor Thomas Germano will focus on the new revelations in the restoration and places ‘Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window’ into the context of Vermeer’s related life and work.

Please note this is a virtual only event and will be available over Zoom.
