    "description": "<p>Antoni van Leeuwenhoek and Johannes Vermeer were peers, extremely curious and grew up in the bustling Delft of the seventeenth century. Nowadays, they are world famous.<br />Both explored and created new worlds. Van Leeuwenhoek discovered the miraculous micro-life with his self-built microscopes, Vermeer played with light and painted masterpieces such as The Girl with the Pearl Earring and View of Delft. <br />What if&hellip;they knew each other? Did they know each other? Oh yes, they could have!<br />What if they were best friends who enjoyed other's company and discussed private and work-related issues that affected them in decisive moments in their lives. <br />Masters in art and science, but at the same time people of flesh and blood, forever bound by light.<br />What if? Dialogues between Antoni van Leeuwenhoek and Johannes Vermeer by author Dirk van Delft and visual artist Elisa Pesapane is a dialogue between two disciplines, where art and science enrich each other.</p>",
