Johannes Vermeer: The Forgotten Grand Master of Dutch Painting | SLICE WHO | FULL DOCUMENTARY

[@SLICE_Who]

What's your favorite Vermeer painting: "Girl with a Pearl Earring" or "The Milkmaid"? Have you ever had the chance to see them in real life?

[@raycooper3269]

Yes. Lady in a big velvet red hat. Wn.D.C.

[@claychaney-m5m]

You can tell that he adores women...never shows them in a negative light.

No one has forgotten Vermeer. You don’t forget a Master painter.

[@artistinlederhosen]

as a fan of vermeer, i thought, do we really need another documentary of his life? so glad it didn’t keep me from viewing this deep, thoughtful dive into the artist’s life and career. very well done. so sad that this master artist never got the platitudes he deserved while he was alive.

[@bunnyrabbit6452]

Crying over the beauty.

[@annastinehammersdottir1290]

What a marvelous documentary of the Master whose work is among my favourites of all time. This is a most dramatic and moving story, I had no idea. Thank you for this broadcast.

[@pamblevens8897]

Excellent! I really enjoyed it. Vermeer is one of my favorite painters. I'm sorry we have such few of his paintings. Thank you!

[@bernardgreenwald6959]

This is quite a good film with very helpful remarks about ancillary events in the world which affected Vermeer's life and art. It was very instructive for me.

[@натальясерова-т7ь]

Thanks a lot. It is a pure pleasure.

[@MichaelDomer]

I'm fascinated by art as long as I can remember, art is part of my life, I see it everywhere, in all corners of life... and it doesn't have to be a product of humans. Most of the art on the other hand doesn't grab me as much as the art of Vermeer. I could explain it, but it would take me some time. I totally enjoy your video, thank you very much! !

[@nicblueberry6360]

This was so lovely! I’ve watched just about everything on Vermeer I can find, but I never get tired of learning about this amazing artist! I wonder if we’ll ever find another Vermeer? At the very least I hope they find the one stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardener museum!

[@maritom4126]

Amazing story and amazing artist you are!

[@patrickmurphy7375]

Thank you. It was very informative. For me, he was the grand master of them all . The girl with the red hat came to dublin this year. Blew me away . 👌

[@notwennaes]

Very moving and instructive, excellent!

[@kellydorsey4568]

Wonderful! Thank you!

[@marypartridge5154]

😊He is so so good it makes me have doubts about my art that is modern and abstract.

[@marypartridge5154]

He is brilliant with colour and value and he composed so it looks artistic

[@SLICE_Who]

That doesn't mean you can't draw inspiration from his work for your own art, even if your styles seem far apart! I'm sure you can learn some of Vermeer's techniques and incorporate them into your own creative process! 🤗😉

[@dianefallon8471]

Never doubt yourself as an artist. You are unique and have your own style. Appreciate that.

[@Jebbie1976]

I'm the furthest thing from an art lover as you'll ever see so why I clicked on this documentary I couldn't tell you. Maybe it was because Girl w/ a Pearl Earring is one of my favorite films. Whatever the reason, I'm glad I watched it; extremely interesting.🙂

[@tanjabijleveld4606]

🧡 loved this documentary

[@MerrittW]

I find it interesting that as a species in 2024 we look though history & identify with artists who lived a life we can never compare with, as an artist I understand his process, yet not his world, time & lifestyle. Im thankful of his abilities works, style and attention to light. An underrated master by way of acceptance & rules of judgement of his day. However in 2024 he is still admired, loved & appreciated, that test of time says it all....a true Master painter that transcend's all time.

[@sphinxtheeminx]

Who has forgotten Vermeer? Not me here in the UK - or anyone who likes Art.

[@KelliMiner]

Great documentary.

[@BloodLaboratorySafety]

It is sad to know, so many artists tried to take advantage and credit themselves for Vermeer’s work. Unfortunately, this treacherous act is still being carried out in today’s world.

[@jongilchrist7229]

Narrator sounded like Kenneth Branagh. Anyway really good

[@joycegeertsma7115]

Around 48:23 where the lady is writing a letter; why would a servant be present unless the lady of the house is writing a letter on her behalf..? There's the possibility that she's illiterate. She's not looking at what's been written down, possibly being discreet OR, because she's describing her thoughts and feelings. It does look like she's speaking..anyway; just a thought.

[@peace5136]

Or maybe she's lookout ❤

[@georgesotiriou7051]

I think the view of Delft is Vermeer's 3rd cityscape. The second was lost

[@jameslabs1]

Paintings of Vermeer told through a spin.

[@omfug7148]

Actually it was NOT Vermeer who got rid of the Cupid on the wall behind the girl reading a letter (possibly his oldest daughter modeled for it? or a pretty servant wearing one of the costumes from Vermeer's dress up box) The Germans ran tests on that painting and have decided that the cupid was painted over later and have restored it to its original condition, makes sense considering that the girl is reading a love letter. Am I the only one who thinks that Vermeer might have committed suicide after it was discovered that he had embezzled from his mother-in-law?

[@shapesart2701]

Great documentary interrupted ocasionaly with such stupid and useless adverts.

[@officiallymrp]

As a Portuguese I find ridiculous everything it is said here about the dutch maritime achievements ;)

[@patrykjakubowski1346]
