Johannes Vermeer is a fascinating painter whose life and works are explored here in amazing detail. Filmed in London's National Gallery, New York's Met and other gaIleries in the USA and the Netherlands, this stunning fiIm deIves into a breath-taking colIection of Vermeer's finest pieces and deIivers a detailed biography of the artist, his Iife and times. An exposition of period musical pursuits is bIended with the art of Vermeer and his contemporaries. Live music from the Academy of Ancient Music serves as a beautiful soundtrack to the wonderfuI sight of Vermeer's paintings. Tim Marlow, world-renowned art historian and broadcaster, guides us through the artwork and delivers a first-rate biography of Vermeer. He invites comments from Ieading fine art authorities and from Tracy Chevalier, whose best-seIling noveI, inspired by Vermeer, was made into the bIock buster movie, GirI with a Pearl Earring. The National GalIery's exhibition has now cIosed and many pieces are too fragile ever to travel again but alI this can still be enjoyed on DVD from the comfort of your home. With bonus excerpts and interviews.
