When I saw this painting (of course not the real one), it was an oil painting appreciation book that my classmates turned over when I started to learn oil painting. I didn't feel anything at the time, um, there were too many beautiful women in it, and they were all religious paintings of the Renaissance.
The film is set in the era Vermeer lived in, seventeenth-century Holland. (Actually, I prefer the dark Middle Ages.) What is the concept of the seventeenth century? It just entered an important stage in the history of world art, the Baroque era! In this day and age, everything becomes crazy and beautiful! The tone of the filming is also attributed to these two points.
The lively markets, the old towns, the enthusiastic and noisy citizens and their greed, and the love, are both warm and solemn. Suddenly I thought of "Perfume", but unfortunately this film did not expand to such colorful.
What if the painter does not have the passion to create, simple, sometimes a good model can solve it. Our painter is fortunate to have encountered his passion in his own home. Some of the most heartwarming episodes come from the light and shadow, infatuation and hesitation when the artist is painting a young girl. The film is full of sense of scale, but unfortunately the lens tension is not enough. Of course, it can't be carnal, and to say carnal or something would humiliate the painting.
However, it was discovered by my wife later, and the reason was extremely bloody, stealing things╮(╯_╰)╭
But the last scene of the film surprised me, and the pearl earrings were finally delivered to the girl. I don't know if some day in the distant seventeenth century, a Dutch maiden also received that string of pearl earrings!
I like every film about painters, even the boring ones like "Night Watch" and "Goya's Soul", I put up with them.
