Tim's Vermeer (2013)

Directed by Teller

Documentary | History

Overview

Tim Jenison, a Texas based inventor, attempts to solve one of the greatest mysteries in all art: How did Dutch Master Johannes Vermeer manage to paint so photo-realistically 150 years before the invention of photography? Spanning a decade, Jenison’s adventure takes him to Holland, on a pilgrimage to the North coast of Yorkshire to meet artista David Hockney, and eventually even to Buckingham Palace. The epic research project Jenison embarques on is as extraordinary as what he discovers.

Viewing Notes

Solid movie more about passion and pursuit of an answer and the thrill of the hunt than the actual subject matter. Good watch for those reasons.
