Vermeer was a successful painter with a glamorous family image, but he had to do what his sponsors did to get funding. His family only cares about material life. Perhaps this is not the mind of a brilliant painter. His studio prohibits others from entering, but the paintings for sponsors are also refined and dedicated. This may be the balance he found in the realistic compromise that still suits his heart. His eyes are calm and deep, and he is not distracted by other things at all. Just lonely, lonely too pure.
Greet always worked without a word, without any haste, with a calm face without any expression. She does not seek anyone to share her joys or her pains. She loved her blind father, and she just held her father's hand tightly without a word, or smiled and met his father's head, looking at the broken porcelain plate with her and her father painted on it, she also held back her tears and held it tightly. hold in his arms. Just lonely, lonely too pure.
And Vermeer's wife did everything possible to win Vermeer's favor; the butcher's son did everything possible to make Greer happy. They cannot adapt to loneliness, and in loneliness they only want to make up for their loss with possession.
The encounter between Vermeer and Greet made a huge difference. The heart that had been closed for a long time suddenly broke into another person, and was so truly occupied. Vermeer's calm eyes began to focus or dodge, and Greet's calm appearance was filled with rapid breathing. What Greer saw was the breathtaking paintings and the author's calm and handsome temperament, while Vermeer saw the touching beauty in simplicity and innocence. Vermeer finally gets inspiration from the heart, and Greet will be immersed in watching the colorful clouds and ecstasy.
It was only afterward that Vermeer still looked intently or dodged, and Greer couldn't adjust his breathing. The long-closed heart is suddenly occupied by someone, and people are suddenly overwhelmed. They don't know what to do together. No one in long loneliness is ready for this. Long periods of loneliness make them feel that there is something they shouldn't and can't break.
So, two lonely worlds collided like this, and they had to go back to the old track. Because there are too many differences between these two worlds except pure loneliness. Status, family, culture, etc. are all obstacles. But what can be better than saying goodbye to loneliness and connecting with each other?
In the end, Greet was alone in her humble home holding the pair of pearl earrings sent from Vermeer, looking into the distance. At least those dreamlike flashes of experience are always there in memory. That picture, that pair of pearl earrings might prove that she was not alone. She will still, in her loneliness, live as before, with nothing to do.
