      Vermeer was an inventor

      The Renaissance was a complicated era. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Europe entered a rather long period of darkness. Crusaders kept on crusades to retake the homeland occupied by Islam. This was also the great vision of the whole of Europe at that time. And it all ended in the last peace between Charlemagne and Saladin. The Europeans still failed to retake Jerusalem from the Muslims. Since then, it may be because the Eastern Expeditions again and again are tantamount to laboring...

      Arts and Sciences / Science and Technology

      The system of color elements, such as the logical space of the picture, is related to a specific function, the subjective expression, the internal possibility, the expression of technology, a way of observing and processing the world, so is it also a way of art? The language is different, but the essence is the same. How to define technology? Art? Function? style? system? idea? Viewing from the other side, placing art in the environment has never entered the art observation, but what should...

      A point of view as a professional

      Kudos to the upright brother from Texas, but as a professional, I have to point out that there is a loophole in this painting method. Vermeer's paintings are all multi-layer indirect painting methods, not this direct painting method. There is an essence between the two. s difference.

      For example, when painting a piece of blue cloth, he will first paint a layer of earth, then a layer of black, then a layer of blue, and then brighten the blue highlights.... Let the paint dry, not in...

      Visual "evidence" in the film

      This blue edge that can only be seen through the lens can be said to be very convincing.

      Tim's Vermeer

      Compared with the documentaries and lectures he watched before, Tim does not analyze the era, culture, or the trend of thought of the time. Instead, he explores the secrets of Vermeer's creation from a technical point of view. Tim is curious about the magical soft light effects and traceless drafts of the greatest oil masters of all time. High-quality lenses and telescopes and the way of simultaneous projection outlines the outlines. Vermeer's paintings are like...

      so cute! Only curiosity can keep us going, I want to make glass too. I don't know when Lin Lin will travel to Holland and buy me two skirts, two pairs of wooden shoes or something. Science and art are never contradictory, just as sensibility and reason are infinitely...

      The hands-on ability of the inventor's grandfather is not covered! I just hope he can choose a more artistic director to help him record this wonderful experiment, such as modeling and calculating the proportions to manually create the scene in the painting, which is too messy. Get the violin and play Smoke on the Water, laughing...

    Movie quotes

    • Natalie Jenison: So if anything falls askew, your painting's in no danger, is that correct?

      Tim Jenison: No, I wouldn't say that... But, you know, I can always start over.

    • Philip Steadman: Using Tim's device, it isn't easy, but somehow it does turn you into a machine... You become a machine. Was Vermeer a machine? Maybe Vermeer was strong-minded enough to think, "I'll become a machine".

    • Penn Jillette: Tim's been weightless in an astronaut-training plane and he arranged for me to try it, too. I vomited into my own hair.
