Fascinating visuals
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.

So so
This would have been a wonderful review of the art of Vermeer had they stuck with the art as they did in the parts narrated by Meryl Streep... the rest of the commentary showed the faces of art critics yakking away and no Vermeer. I really bought this hopeful I would see Vermeer, not the face of some professor or magazine editor... not recommended by me

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.

An Extraordinary Painter, An Extraordinary Film!!,
By Lesser Knowns (San Mateo, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
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.

This is art history the way it should be done!,
By Marc Lonoff (Northbrook, IL United States) - See all my reviews
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.

This review is from: Vermeer: Master of Light (DVD)
I enjoyed this DVD on Vermeer very much. I have seen other Documentaries on his work, and found this one to be one of my favorites. I would recommend it to artists and non artists. It is a calm relaxing film to watch with Meryl Streep as the narrator. She speaks clearly and slow to hear and understand the narration of the works by Vermeer. Quality of the film is very good also.
