From Rubens to Rembrandt, the National Gallery of Ireland is home to some of the world's greatest paintings.

After a multi million-pound make-over the gallery is reopening with a blockbuster Vermeer exhibition.

Author Colm Tóibín talked to the BBC's arts editor Will Gompertz about the magnificence, mystery and meaning of Vermeer’s Woman Writing a Letter, With Her Maid.
