This compilation video combines all five parts of the /Vermeer: Master of
Light/ series. /Vermeer: Master of Light/ is a visual pilgrimage in search of
what makes a Vermeer a Vermeer. It is a journey of discovery, guiding the
viewer through an examination of three of Johannes Vermeer's paintings and
exploring the secrets of his technique. Utilizing the potential of x-ray
analysis and infrared reflectography as well as the power of computer
technology, the program delves beneath the surface of the paintings to unveil
fascinating insights into Vermeer's work. This film celebrates one of the
most extraordinary painters in the history of art. Narrated by Meryl Streep,
with commentary by Arthur Wheelock, curator of northern baroque paintings,
National Gallery of Art, and David Bull, conservator.
