Remax on Shepard Fairey: "Andre the Giant Has a Posse" (…OBEY…) sticker campaign and muses: Everyone knows the painting, however not everyone knows the story. Vermeer’s famous and iconic painting depicts a beautiful woman, who until this day remains anonymous. At the time when this piece was created, the artist had been painting aristocracy. Which is why it was surprising when he painted this, breaking from his usual style. It was his attempt to show the magnetism of the female expression. “The Girl With The Pearl Earing” ended up being Vermeer’s most famous painting. The Girl With the Pearl Earing is one of the most iconic and noticeable muses in history and yet we will most probably never know her identity.
