5.0 out of 5 stars Vermeer's Genius Revealed To All, January 18, 2002

This review is from: Dutch Masters: Vermeer [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This was the most interesting treatment of art and artists that I've ever been exposed to. The various art experts that appeared in the film went into great detail about the techniques used by Vermeer to obtain his wonderful lighting effects even showing, via infrared photography, that the artist had moved certain elements of the composition to make a more pleasing and focused work. A truly inspiring video. I can only hope that the other parts of this series come close to this level of detail.
