This digital creation presents the genius of the painters of the North through a true immersion in authentic painting, as close as possible to nature and its subjects. Monumental basins provide a backdrop for daydreaming along the Flemish canals.

Painting light and its atmosphere is the common thread running through the exhibition. Direct or subdued, cold or sunny, light reveals the facades and intimacy of homes. Set sail for the cities and stroll through this Vermeerian climate, where the inhabitants invite you to enter the canvas. Vermeer, like a filmmaker, chooses his setting and stages a world in suspense. His canvases are like synopses that open the way to an almost Hitchcockian mystery, where you become part of the staging.
