Vermeer's in the World: Europe

The 36 generally accepted Vermeer's are divided between Europe (22) and America (14). The Saint Praxedis, which would be the 37th painting by Vermeer but is weakly supported by authorities, is not on public view and may be in storage in Poland. Vermeer's Concert, once housed in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, was stolen in March 18, 1990 and has not been recovered since. If you have any information regarding this theft, please report it to the FBI Art Theft Program. More information can be found by clicking here.
