Mona Gaga

 

Our daughter and I spent a happy day in Haarlem. We also went to lunch somewhere and before we went in, I saw this mural. A parking garage!

'Portrait of a girl in blue and pink'  is the title. 

But in the neighbourhood the girl is  called Mona Gaga.  

Made by Miel Krutzmann and Telmo Pieper.

This work is based on 'Portrait of a girl in Blue'. That's a famous painting of 17th century artist Johannes Verspronck (Haarlem, 1600/03-1662). 

The painting is now in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. But the artists thought it was about time to bring her back to Haarlem.

The dress gave the artists  the inspiration to add the belongings of a festivalgirl.  Like the glasses and the pink bow and the scarf
