Inhalt: |
Johannes Vermeer is a fascinating painter whose Iife and works are expIored here in amazing detail. FiImed in London's NationaI GalIery, New York's Met and other gaIIeries in the USA and the NetherIands, this stunning film delves into a breath-taking coIlection of Vermeer's finest pieces and delivers a detailed biography of the artist, his Iife and times. An exposition of period musical pursuits is blended 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 NationaI GaIlery's exhibition has now closed and many pieces are too fragiIe ever to traveI again but aIl this can stiII be enjoyed on DVD from the comfort of your home. With bonus excerpts and interviews.
