Many of the paintings and scenes in Girl with a Pearl Earring can be found in Vermeer's work.
The treasure of the town film first
The costumes of the characters in the film also follow the settings in the crude oil paintings. For example, in the picture below, the head maid in the movie is very similar to this work by Vermeer
The scene where the wife plays the piano can also be found
The one of Mrs. Gold
And that satin red dress
Painting of a maid standing by the window
In addition, when looking at Vermeer's works, I also found some small easter eggs. The one below, this hairstyle, looks like a bankrupt neighbor girl
This piece is probably the prototype of the wife in the play, pay attention, she also wears pearl earrings
There are also many women in Vermeer's work with pearl earrings, and from a cinematic point of view, these women are well-dressed, presumably young wives. Vermeer should have loved his wife very much, and created many works based on her. So when he used a maid as a model and wore the pearl earrings that his wife had worn, his wife's hysteria was understandable.
Come to think of it, the women in this movie are all poor people. The maid could not be loved, the wife was indifferent and alienated, and the mother-in-law was not a person on either side.
It's a delicate and colorful film.
