The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has the largest cache of Vermeers in America, and on July 8 one of these precious jewels, Woman with a Lute, will be in residence at the Norton Simon Museum. This is the second time in four years that a work by this enigmatic artist has graced these Pasadena galleries, joining other 17th-century masterworks from the Dutch Golden Age. And it will be the first time that this particular painting has traveled as far west as California.
