beautiful documentary...thank you...

[@sonjasleeper1511]

I like the biographical. We have to remember that artists had to make their own paints.

Love it.

1:18:00 One important note about this painting that is not mentioned here is that the balance point lies exactly in the geometric center of the picture.

This is an excellent documentary - almost makes ownership of books on Vermeer unnecessary. I wonder, though, whether young women in those days always wrote letters about love - surely they might have had other concerns. Also, the painting of the soldier and the young woman smiling could be of a brother and sister, surely? One other question: even if certain motifs were often used symbolically, it must be possible that this wasn't always so, and that Vermeer could have painted them for the sheer pleasure of representing them. And is music ALWAYS symbolic of love? Didn't people play for the fun of it?

@ 2:07:25 it looks like there might be an Astrological birth-chart of some kind with various aspects and angles, hanging above the globe.

You don't have a narrator? Just an AI one? Edit: it either just improved drastically OR I reacted WAY too hastily and shut off my listening! Coulda sworn was more robotic...but thank goodness!

[@genghisgalahad8465]

@@djpokeeffe8019 AI is AI-noying. I prefer earnest live channels with their personal perspectives. Especially when it's a bot imitating with its knock-off version of what it thinks a non-specific English accent is. I enjoy this other one esoteric channel that's got this professorial style AI, but this one is a tad too generic and, for my taste, a tad too artificial?

[@j.louisv.123]

No person called Jesus Lord until after his death. Painting "Saint Praxedis" is not a Vermeer. There is no intimacy of space of which Vermeer excelled at and much preferred. As well as the difference in brush stroke of direction, brush placement and light within light at key points of secondary and thirdly light play on play light. Light blending technique of flesh; especially the face is very very un'Vermeer. Vermeers amazing facial tone and light'hughes from above and below are nowhere to be found on this piece. Vermeer was a master of "spatial - reasoning. No, THIS IS NOT A VERMEER.
