Whoa, that third paragraph contains a lot of opinion. Unabashed praise like that doesn't sound terribly encyclopedic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.94.87.63 (talk) 03:09, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Picture of the day

The Little Street (Het Straatje) is a painting by the Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer, dating to around 1657–58. An oil-on-canvas work, it is a relatively small painting, being 54.3 centimetres (21.4 in) high by 44.0 centimetres (17.3 in) wide. It depicts a street in Vermeer's hometown of Delft, one of three he painted of the town, the others being View of Delft and the now lost House Standing in Delft. The painting bears the signature "I V MEER", below the left hand corner below the window. The Little Street is now exhibited at the Rijksmuseum of Amsterdam.Painting: Johannes Vermeer
