5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating visuals, November 20, 2009

This review is from: Vermeer: Master of Light (DVD)

After the recent Metropolitan Museum exhibit featuring Vermeer's Milkmaid, I got interested in reading more about the artists. My librarian suggested this video and I liked it so much I decided to purchase a copy for my personal library. The analyses of composition and the graphics they've created to describe Vermeers painting techniques are really great . . . and, unlike some art historians, those interviewed here don't go off the deep end in their interpretations.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Extraordinary Painter, An Extraordinary Film!!, December 15, 2009

This review is from: Vermeer: Master of Light (DVD)

This documentary is tied together nicely with perfect narrator tone, extraordinary paintings and lovely, fitting music. I knew I would be mesmerized by the images on the screen, and the story engages like no other. It was an interesting piece to learn more about Vermeer's paintings and his technique.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is art history the way it should be done!, August 20, 2010

This review is from: Vermeer: Master of Light (DVD)

A good mix of experts with lots of superb graphics. Computer 3D wire simulations. Analysis of original lines and removal of touch-ups that were added over the centuries to "improve" the paintings. A gem of a DVD. Lets have more of these for other artists.
