The story behind Girl with a Pearl Earring
Painted around 1665, Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring is not a portrait but a tronie — a study of an imagined face emerging from pure shadow, her identity unknown. She has never been identified. The earring that names the painting may not even be a pearl: it is far too large and lacks the deep luster of a real one — most art historians today believe it is a glass drop, painted as an ideal that no real jewel could match.
Girl with a Pearl Earring as a stained-glass puzzle

You place coloured glass fragments into valid regions using pure deduction — the same satisfying reasoning as a nonogram or a logic grid — and as each puzzle resolves, another pane of the painting lights up. Finish the world and the whole artwork glows back to life.
